- 2 scoops Ice Cream (Vanilla or mint chocolate chip)
- 1 ounce Mint Liqueur (Or substitute peppermint extract)
- 1 ounce Chocolate Liqueur (Or chocolate syrup for non-alcoholic)
- 1 dollop Whipped Cream (Optional but recommended)
- 1 unit Cookie Straw (Any favorite cookie)
- 1 tablespoon Crushed Cookies (For topping)

Notes
- The recipe can be made non-alcoholic by substituting mint liqueur with peppermint extract and chocolate liqueur with chocolate syrup.
- Use mint chocolate chip ice cream for enhanced mint flavor or vanilla ice cream for a milder base flavor.
- Chilling the glasses before serving helps keep the cocktail icy longer.
- For a firmer consistency, reduce the amount of liqueur slightly.
- The cookie straw adds a fun and edible stirring option—choose your favorite cookie variety.
