Just a Moonmint
A creamy and refreshing milkshake that marries the classic flavors of rich chocolate and cool mint. Blended to frothy perfection, this non-alcoholic treat offers a sweet escape reminiscent of a liquid chocolate mint candy.
What it tastes like
The drink smells primarily of peppermint and cocoa. On the palate, the texture is thin but creamy with a sugary chocolate profile followed by a cool, clean mint finish. The blending process introduces air, creating a light foam on the surface that softens the mouthfeel.
