Customer photo review of Peppermint Coffee Syrup

While I love this syrup for baking and in ice cream, it’s not what I’d consider “peppermint” it definitely tastes and smells more like spearmint. This is delicious but I will purchase a more spicy peppermint syrup for my coffees and save this for my sweet treats :)

We brought this Peppermint Syrup to try a new flavour and I must say, I am not a fan. It makes my coffee not drinkable at all :(

Can’t start my day without my peppermint mocha. Double shot of strong coffee, one shot hot chocolate and peppermint syrup with skim milk. I’m addicted - please don’t ever stop making this syrup, not sure I would cope without it!

I use it in my coffee, 3 squirts in a 24 oz cup. It hits the spot in warm or cold weather.

These syrups have been great. I recently purchased as I saw their Christmas in Xmas sale advertised and decided to try them out. These flavours have all been great tasting and I've been loving the variety to choose from. Will definitely purchase from here again.

I added 2 tablespoons to 1 litre of vanilla ice cream plus a little green food colour which you don’t have to do. Just soften the ice cream mix through& referee. Add more or less depending on your own taste. Absolutely my husband’s & my favourite ice cream

bought vanilla, peppermint, chai & white chocolate. love them all except peppermint... tastes like the actual herb and not the candy flavour which is what I was expecting. hopefully I can find a way to like it!

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Unfortunately this flavour is not peppermint but spearmint. There is a distinct difference in the flavour profiles of these two common mints and to label this syrup as peppermint is extremely misleading. If you dislike spearmint or are looking for peppermint do not purchase this.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

It didn't taste nice with a hot chocolate. Was looking forward to a nice mint hot choccy

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Won’t be drinking it unfortunately, spearmint makes me sick and that’s all I can smell when I opened it. Disappointing for a diehard fan of mint things

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

I was disappointed with the peppermint syrup. It is definitely more spearmint flavoured. All the other syrups I bought are tasty, and I’d definitely buy them again. We won’t be getting the peppermint again though.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

it is lovely in a coffee, breakfast cereal, shakes and ice cream. very yummy

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

This syrup tasted way too artificial in my opinion, doesn’t have that freshness that mint should. Also the unnatural colouring puts me off

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Does not taste or smell like peppermint. It is spearmint. I hate spearmint. I'm very disappointed 😞

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

This is not peppermint it is spearmint flavoured. Incorrectly named, so that’s disappointing. I have emailed about it and was told I could be refunded on returned unopened bottles if taste is not to my preference and then have had no response to my email stating it’s not about taste preference it’s about an incorrect name - it is not the flavour it claims to be.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

I like this Peppermint syrup but sometimes it doesn’t taste very strong. Also, it’d be good if there were a lite version of this syrup.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

The syrups smell like plastic, and don't have much taste. They're also very runny/watery (not thick like we expected a syrup to be). We purchased this syrup (mint) and the pumpkin spice one. The pumpkin spice tasted so bad that we threw the whole thing out - nobody in our household would use it. At least one person in our house thinks the mint tastes ok, so we can salvage this one, but overall we weren't impressed with the syrups and won't buy them again.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

I don't know how this possibility be called peppermint, when it's very distinctly spearmint. Tastes like a spearmint lolly, not at all like the peppermint candy they've put on the label. Very disappointed and feel like I've wasted my money.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

I was really looking forward to hot/iced chocolates that tasted like mint choc chip ice cream, but this Peppermint syrup just didn't do it for me. It was more Spearmint than Peppermint, and I was hoping for more of a cooling, menthol sensation. Instead it tastes a bit like I'm drinking a hot/iced chocolate after brushing my teeth. Loved every other syrup I've gotten from Cashmere Syrups, but unfortunately not this one.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

This very quickly became my son’s favourite milk shake

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Nice flavour in coffee or with soda water. Mint then lime aftertaste.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Great in my ice-cream machine, makes great flavour in my ice cream, very happy.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

We find that it's more akin to Spearmint than Peppermint. That being said, it is still a very good syrup the we use in our tea instead of coffee. It adds a refreshing and uplifting layer of flavour that we find makes the tea so much better.

How To Use: Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Milkshakes and More

Peppermint syrup is one of the more versatile flavours in the range. Here are the best ways to use it.

In a latte or mocha

  • Add 15 mL to your cup before pulling your espresso shot over the top.
  • Add steamed milk for a peppermint latte, or stir through some hot chocolate powder first for a full peppermint mocha situation.
  • A little whipped cream on top is optional but very much encouraged.

Iced peppermint coffee

  • Add 15 to 20 mL to a glass packed with ice, pour cold brew or espresso over the top, then fill with cold milk.
  • The mint flavour is really refreshing in cold drinks, especially through summer.
  • Top with a fresh sprig of mint if you want it to look the part.

Hot chocolate and other drinks

  • Stir 15 mL through your hot chocolate for a peppermint hot choc that tastes like a candy cane in a mug. Kids love it.
  • Works well in milkshakes and smoothies too if you want a minty twist without a lot of added sugar.
  • Try it stirred through warm milk with a bit of honey for a soothing bedtime drink.

Tasting Notes

Cool, clean peppermint with a sharp menthol edge that hits the back of the throat just right. It's not the watered-down mint you get from some syrups where you add a full pump and still can't really taste it. This one is properly present. Sweet but not sickly, and the cooling sensation lingers a bit after each sip, which is part of what makes it so good in hot drinks. The low GI raw cane sugar keeps the sweetness honest without going overboard.

In a mocha, it's a total crowd pleaser. In a straight latte it's a bit more of a statement. If you're into bold flavours, this one is right up your alley. And if you're looking for something to mix with it, the Cashmere chocolate range pairs perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much peppermint syrup should I use in my coffee?

Start at 15 mL, which is one standard pump. Peppermint is a bold flavour so that's usually enough for most drinks. If you want a stronger mint hit, go to 20 mL. For hot chocolate or milkshakes where there's more to balance against, 20 to 25 mL tends to work better. It's worth tasting as you go the first time to find your sweet spot.

Is it good in hot chocolate?

Really good. Peppermint and chocolate are a classic pairing and this syrup pulls it off well. Add 15 mL to your hot choc and stir through properly before adding milk so it doesn't sit at the bottom.

A peppermint mocha using this syrup and a good quality hot chocolate powder is genuinely one of the better home café drinks you can make. Check out the Cashmere Syrups recipe blog for more ideas.

Why does this syrup contain erythritol and black tea extract?

Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol that adds sweetness without the same sugar content as regular sugar. It behaves like sugar in drinks without leaving the bitter aftertaste that some other sugar substitutes can.

The black tea extract is used as a natural colour stabiliser. Together they help keep the sugar content lower than a standard coffee syrup while still delivering proper mint flavour.

How many serves are in a bottle?

Around 50 serves at 15 mL per pour. That's a solid amount for a 750 mL bottle and makes it genuinely good value compared to buying peppermint flavoured drinks out. If you're using a Cashmere syrup pump, each pump is calibrated to 15 mL so you won't need to measure.

What other flavours go well with peppermint?

Chocolate is the obvious one, and it's classic for good reason. Vanilla also works nicely if you want something softer and creamier alongside the mint. Have a look at the full Cashmere coffee syrup range if you want to experiment with mixing flavours in the one drink.
