National Mocha Day
Today is a special day here in the US, at least for those of us who enjoy following faux-holidays, for today is not just one special-national-day, but two! Today is both National Coffee Day and National Mocha Day.
To celebrate - and celebrate we must - here is a Skeleton Brew inspired coffee and mocha recipe for the day.
"Monochrome Mocha"
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Skeleton Brew's "Eternal Shadows" roast coffee, brewed
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
- Optional: cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish
Directions:
Step 1: The Contrast Brew
Brew a cup of Skeleton Brew's "Eternal Shadows" roast coffee, savoring its bold and captivating flavors. Let the dark hues and rich aroma transport you to the nostalgic world of black and white film photography.
Step 2: The Creamy Harmony
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat and whisk in the dark chocolate syrup and vanilla syrup, creating a creamy harmony that complements the robust coffee.
Step 3: The Monochrome Blend
Pour the brewed "Dark Contrast" coffee into a mug. Gently pour the chocolate-infused milk over the coffee, allowing the contrasting colors to blend and create a visually stunning monochrome masterpiece.
Step 4: The Whipped Cream Canvas
Top your Monochrome Mocha with a generous dollop of whipped cream, transforming the drink into a canvas for your imagination. For an artistic touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top, adding depth and texture to the monochromatic palette.
Step 5: The Nostalgic Sip
Take a moment to appreciate the nostalgic allure of black and white film photography as you sip your Monochrome Mocha. Let the harmonious blend of coffee and chocolate transport you to a bygone era of timeless beauty and artistic expression.

Your awesome coffee photos are getting me all revved up for Halloween! The recipe is a lot of fun too, thanks for sharing! 😁
Thanks! There's more to come, too. Coffee and Halloween are about two of my favourite things in the world, so it's a natural fit!
Of those two days I think my favorite is the national coffee day hahaha, likewise of these two recipes I really liked the mocha, excellent greetings.
LOL, every day is coffee day for me! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow dude, I know coffee day is going to become my favorite, what spectacular photos. Cheers!
Thank you! Any reason I can find to decorate for Halloween is a good reason. Thank you for stopping by!
A perfect drink for the dark month of the year, plus it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Excellent Monochrome Mocha Saturday.☕
Thank you! I hope I can keep it up all through Christmas.
This is a very detailed recipe for making this coffee treat. Although I wouldn’t like it for sure, I’m actually curious to taste it. I don’t like sweetened coffee or any coffee with something added. 😁
Your photo adds a bit of additional spookiness.
I typically prefer black coffee as well, without cream or sugar at all. But these are fun to put together, and I enjoy seeing people's reactions when they taste them and enjoy them.
Plus it gives me a reason to be spooky. 😁
