This is the peppermint syrup that earns its place in your winter rotation. We brew it from real peppermint and spearmint leaves (with a touch of peppermint concentrate for extra punch), so the flavor reads as fresh and herbal — like a peppermint plant rather than a candy cane. The result is a syrup that adds real cool-mint depth without veering into toothpaste territory.
Stir an ounce into a hot mocha for a peppermint mocha that competes with your nearest coffee shop. Splash it into vodka and Bailey's for a Peppermint White Russian that drinks like dessert. Add it to hot cocoa for the kid-friendly version of the holidays. Mix it with sparkling water for a refreshing peppermint soda that's surprisingly good year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the syrup last after opening?
A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.
Q: How strong is the peppermint flavor?
A: Pleasantly assertive but never overwhelming. Because we brew with whole peppermint and spearmint leaves (rather than mint extract or oil), the flavor reads as fresh and herbal rather than toothpaste-medicinal. Most people find an ounce in a 12-oz drink delivers clear peppermint character without dominating other flavors — it works alongside chocolate, coffee, and cocoa rather than overpowering them.
Q: Is Peppermint syrup kid-friendly?
A: Yes — it's a great way to make mint hot chocolate or peppermint cocoa for kids without the candy-cane sugar bomb. Mix 1 oz into 8 oz of hot chocolate or warm milk for an instant holiday treat. The peppermint flavor is real (not artificial), so it tastes more like fresh mint and less like commercial peppermint candy.
