Prepare your desired amount of espresso and pour it into the Coffee Mug.
Add the Peppermint Syrup and Dark Chocolate Sauce to the Coffee Mug, stirring until combined.
In the Milk Pitcher, heat 1 cup of whole milk in the microwave for 1 to 1:30 minutes.
Froth the heated milk using the Milk Frother until creamy and slightly foamy.
Slowly pour the frothed milk into the Coffee Mug, mixing it with the syrup, chocolate, and espresso.

Drizzle extra dark chocolate sauce over the top if desired, and enjoy your decadent Hot Peppermint Mocha!
