Matcha, mocha and all things peppermint: Salon Food's 8 favorite drinks to sip this holiday season

Salon  

I don't think I've ever worked in a newsroom that wasn't in some way powered by coffee. Salon editor in chief Erin Keane keeps it simple by "never turn a peppermint mocha during December, no matter where I am," while senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte prefers to keep things more budget-friendly. All-year iced coffee drinkers Columnist Michael La Corte points to the "Jack Frost" — found at the New York City-based coffee chain Gregorys — as one of his favorite holiday sips. "So you were probably thinking coffee here, but my favorite holiday drink is the frozen Irish coffee from Molly's at the Market," McClure says. In past years, I've favored Dunkin's Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte and Starbucks' Irish Cream Cold Brew, but this year I'm running on La Colombe's Oatmilk Peppermint Mocha Latte.
