Steps

1 Done	For the Iced Version - Place coconut milk, mezcal, coffee liqueur, agave, cinnamon, and cayenne in a cocktail shaker, along with 3 or 4 ice cubes. Shake in a shaker for 15 seconds then set aside. - Lightly drizzle chocolate syrup on the walls of two rocks glasses (glasses that hold roughly 8 ounces). Place 3 to 4 ice cubes in each glass, then strain the drink over them. Serve chilled.
2 Done	For the Hot Version - Add mezcal, coffee liqueur, agave, cinnamon, and cayenne in a glass. Using a whisk or frothing wand, mix until combined. Divide the mixture between two 6-ounce glasses or tea cups. - Heat non-dairy milk (I prefer soy for this application), and froth it using a wand or run in a blender for a few seconds. Divide milk between the two glasses, top with optional whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup over the top. Serve while hot.
3 Done	Notes - Light coconut milk - If you don't have it try plain soy, oat, or almond milk. - Mezcal Joven - if you don't know much about this spirit, Serious Eats has a great write-up on the background and choosing the right mezcal for you. - Coffee liqueur - Check Barnivore to verify that the one you choose is vegan! - Agave nectar - a little funny that agave is in this drink in two forms, but you're also welcome to omit it for a less sweet drink or use maple syrup instead. - Chocolate syrup - now, plenty of store-bought chocolate syrups are vegan. But, if you don't have any on hand, you can make an easy homemade chocolate sauce that will work great. - A good cocktail shaker can be such a help for drinks like this, to easily mix them thoroughly while cooling them down at the same time.
