The Mexican Mocha is now available at the Pegasus Coffee House and we cannot wait for you to try it! This deliciously crafted Mocha stands apart from all others by one special ingredient: Mexican chocolate!
We have partnered with Rey Amargo, a Mexican Chocolatier in Capital Hill to bring you an authentic Latin-inspired Mocha with real artisan Mexican chocolate. Since 1939, Rey Amargo has been inviting families and friends to rediscover the true flavor of cacao through their handmade chocolates and beverages. And now, we are lucky enough to bring their unforgettable chocolate to Bainbridge Island!
Premium espresso, artisan chocolate and hint of spice combine in a perfect sweet and spicy flavor profile that is out-of-this-world good. The subtle heat of this coffee will warm you up even on the coldest of these winter days.
For those who are not local to Bainbridge Island, but want to make a delicious, cafe-quality Mexican Mocha at home, please enjoy this recipe!
