Start the day with Kevin Costner’s Cafe Mocha

Many people have a favorite coffee. For the person who prefers bold and a little sweet, Kevin Costner’s Cafe Mocha is that beverage and the recipe is easy to master.

While he might be an entertainment industry icon, Kevin Costner is just like many people. A great cup of coffee is a great way to start the day. In collaboration with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, he created a specialty coffee, Horizon Blend by Kevin Costner. It is the flavorful foundation for his coffee preference, a Cafe Mocha.  

The coffee shelf is full of all types of offerings. From big, dark bold flavors to light roasts, the options ensure that any preference is covered.  

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is more than just the brand that comes in the box with the new Keurig. While those classic offerings always deliver rich, robust coffee flavor, the variety from the coffee company is tremendous. From Half-Caff to Dark Magic, there is a brew for any mood or occasion.  

With the Horizon Blend by Kevin Costner, the flavor has a hint of smokiness that that pairs well with the boldness of the blend. Although it might not necessarily be the coffee made by the campfire, it has a versatility that works on its own and when paired with other flavors.  

In particular, it works quite well with Costner’s preferred coffee, a Cafe Mocha. Here’s his recipe.
