Every holiday party needs a great drink. Early in the evening, I usually gravitate towards something bubbly and festive. But as the evening progresses, I like to serve something more dessert-like. This peppermint and chocolate coffee cooler hits all the right notes: the right amount of chocolate, cool peppermint ice cream, and, if you please, coffee liqueur.

This can be made one day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Honestly, I don’t think I need to say any more. You’re going to love these!
