![The Baby Mocha - A Hug in a Mug](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0035/9372/files/VCR3726.jpg?v=1505752711)
You know those days when you wake up beyond excited for what lies ahead? Maybe it's your favorite holiday or your birthday; maybe you've just booked a big trip or accomplished a goal. Whatever the occasion, I believe that feeling -- one of pure happiness -- is best celebrated with a Baby Mocha. And I, very fortunately, get to experience the Baby Mocha (B Mo!) on the regular.
Now, you may be wondering what a Baby Mocha is since it's technically a part of our Secret Menu (yes, there’s a secret menu!). Well, let me tell you, it's equal parts magic and love, crafted by the most talented baristas in the game (pardon my bias). It's seriously a hug in a mug*, and I couldn't ask for anything more when I'm wishing for a sweet pick-me-up.

I say all of this as a member of the Verve Wholesale team, where my main focus and greatest joy is sharing our coffees with as many people as I can. And while this little post isn't about a singular coffee of ours, I still feel like this secret is too good to keep to myself. So, the next time you're craving a little sweet n’ spro, ask your local Verve Barista for a B Mo.

The moment of truth and the face says it all.

*A hug in a mug is an 8 oz. espresso-based milk beverage, made with Verve’s in-house chocolate, steamed milk, whipped cream, and sprinkles. I'd tell you the whipped cream and sprinkles are optional, but that “first sip whipped cream moustache” is a necessary part of the B Mo experience.
