Make an iced chocolate drink by blending cold milk with cocoa or melted chocolate, then adding ice. For a smooth result, first mix cocoa with a small splash of warm milk until it forms a paste, then add the remaining cold milk.
An iced chocolate drink made with cocoa or chocolate can contain a small amount of caffeine and theobromine. It usually has far less caffeine than a coffee-based drink, unless espresso or coffee is added; the amount varies with the chocolate used.
An iced chocolate drink can be made without coffee, while an iced mocha combines chocolate with espresso or coffee. If you want a chocolate-only drink or are avoiding caffeine, ask whether the café adds coffee.
An iced chocolate drink can taste watery because melting ice dilutes the milk and chocolate. Blend it with chilled ingredients and add ice just before serving, or use frozen milk cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down.
Yes, you can make an iced chocolate drink with melted chocolate or chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder. Melted chocolate should be cooled slightly before blending with cold milk, while syrup mixes in easily and usually makes the drink sweeter.
Yes, adding espresso or chilled coffee turns an iced chocolate drink into a mocha-style drink. The coffee adds a roasted flavor that balances the chocolate, as well as more caffeine than a chocolate-only version.
Blend an iced chocolate drink thoroughly so the cocoa or chocolate is evenly dispersed through the milk. Some settling can still happen as it stands, especially with cocoa powder; give it a quick stir before drinking.
Keep an iced chocolate drink covered in the refrigerator and drink it the same day. Ice melts and dilutes it, and the chocolate may settle, so stir it well before serving and discard it if it has been left out for hours.
An iced chocolate drink can provide fluid and carbohydrates, but its milk and sweetness may feel heavy during exercise. If you choose to have one, try a small serving beforehand and see how your stomach responds; water is still important for hydration.
An iced chocolate drink may affect sleep in people sensitive to stimulants because cocoa contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine. A coffee-added version contains more caffeine, so choose a chocolate-only drink earlier in the day if sleep is a concern.

An iced chocolate drink is made by mixing milk with cocoa or chocolate and serving it cold, often over ice. At cafés it may be blended until frothy or topped with whipped cream, while a simple home version needs little more than chilled milk, cocoa and sweetener.
Across many countries, it is enjoyed as a cooling treat or an afternoon pick-me-up, rather than as an everyday thirst-quencher; it pairs naturally with biscuits, cake or a light snack. Milk contributes some protein, but the drink is usually sweet and provides much of its energy as carbohydrate. For a less rich cup, reduce the sweetener and skip cream, or make it with unsweetened cocoa and adjust the sweetness yourself.
