Brew and Chill: Start with a strong coffee base, preferably two shots of espresso, and let it cool.
Mix Flavors: In a glass, combine the chilled coffee with cacao powder and maple syrup, adding a touch of vanilla extract if desired.
Add Peppermint: Stir in a small amount of peppermint extract, being cautious with the quantity to avoid overpowering the drink.
Garnish and Serve: Add ice to the glass and garnish with optional toppings like whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra festive touch.
