It&#8217;s a peppermint mocha topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, dusted with hot cocoa powder. It&#8217;s available hot or iced, and since it was nearly 90 degrees when I ordered it, I opted for the iced version.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunkin-Merry-Mocha-Mint-Signature-Latte-2.jpeg?resize=600%2C880&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dunkin Merry Mocha Mint Signature Latte 2\" title=\"Dunkin' Merry Mocha Mint Signature Latte 2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"880\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Being that it&#8217;s been a couple of years since I&#8217;ve had Dunkin&#8217;s peppermint mocha, I couldn&#8217;t remember if it always came with a sprinkle of hot cocoa powder on the whipped cream. This sounded really promising to me, but, unfortunately, the one I received had such little powder that it didn&#8217;t impact the taste of the whipped cream in any noticeable way. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Dunkin-Merry-Mocha-Mint-Signature-Latte-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C752&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dunkin Merry Mocha Mint Signature Latte Top\" title=\"Dunkin' Merry Mocha Mint Signature Latte Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"752\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chocolate in the latte was decadent, with a sweetness level was on par with semi-sweet chocolate. The syrup on top tasted exactly as I hoped it would. It was just as rich as the what&#8217;s in the drink and didn&#8217;t have that typical synthetic chocolate syrup flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The peppermint level was perfectly balanced. It danced around with the chocolate and delicately enhanced the drink. It was strong enough to be prominent, but it didn&#8217;t feel like I had ravenously sucked down an entire tin of Altoids.<\/p>\n<p>All this positivity aside, I was disappointed for one very important reason: I could not taste any form of coffee in the latte at all. The drink tasted like a delicious minty chocolate milk on ice, but not any type of legitimate mocha or latte. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t be certain if the Merry Mocha Mint Signature Latte was supposed to taste like this or if I got a dud. Judging by the simple discrepancy between the cocoa powder on my drink and the promo photographs, I&#8217;m leaning towards the latter.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, Dunkin&#8217; failed to give me the full &#8220;warm and fuzzy&#8221; experience that I was craving.
