No, Mocha Doesn't Actually Mean "Chocolate"

This was NOT my beverage.

While at the airport this morning to see my departing visitor off to San Francisco, we stopped to grab a coffee and for a last-drink-and-a-cigarette moment.

Mia ordered, as always, a cappuccino, and I ordered a mocha, a drink I've gotten maybe twice in my life. I tend to stick to straight cheap drip coffee when drinking caffeinated beverages, but today I was feeling in need of something a little sweeter.

However:

Upon ordering the mocha, the barista making our drinks to the left of the cashier looked up and asked me, "Do you want whip cream on your hot chocolate". I looked her in the eye for a moment and then, narrowing mine, said, "Oh... sorry. I ordered a mocha." She then glanced at me with a look that I thought was comprehension, and then after it seemed like she'd begun making my drink asked, "Well, would you like whip cream on your mocha?" "Sure," I said, smiling. In another minute after that she handed me my drink.

Hot chocolate.
