Notes

This recipe scales easily if you are making drinks for a group. The peppermint extract is the one ingredient to handle carefully since different brands vary quite a bit in strength, so taste as you go if you are doubling the batch. Canned whipped cream works perfectly fine here and gives you the swooped top that looks right.
