Don't have NA Rum?

If you want the closest flavor to the original recipe without NA rum, ½ tsp vanilla extract + ½ oz simple syrup. You can also add 1 oz more of milk.

Tips for the Best Espresso Martini Mocktail

Don’t overdo the peppermint. A little goes a long way—¼ teaspoon is plenty for that festive flavor without tasting like toothpaste.
Use a creamy milk. Oat milk gives the best frothy texture, but almond, cashew, or regular milk all work.
Fresh espresso matters. Strong, high-quality espresso makes this mocktail taste rich and balanced.
Make it extra indulgent. Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
