How to make hot chocolate? Use milk for best results. This is an alcoholic drink because I added Spiced honey tequila. I used dark chocolate.
My love for hot chocolate knows no bounds. There is no perfect better comfort drink for the winter than this chocolately goodness.
Doesn’t matter if it is white hot chocolate, dark hot chocolate, Mexican hot chocolate or regular hot chocolate, I love them all.
If you are not into boozy hot chocolate recipes, then try my vegan hot chocolate recipe. Its so easy and delicious.
My favorite place to get this drink is at Serendipity 3 In NYC. Once you have had their hot chocolate, you will like no other!
This days, I settle for the home made version. I like using dark chocolate when making it at home because it packs a real chocolate flavor.
Everyone has their own way of making it. Most people use milk and add marshmallows. If you make yours with water, you and I need to have a conversation.
I use milk to make my version. This gives it a thick base and I can taste every molecule of the hot chocolate as I drink it. Top it with whipped cream and I have the perfect drink in hand while I watch the rain outside. Is there a more perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon?
I don’t put alcohol in my rainy day version. However, I made an exception in this case and gave it a little kick!
A fan favorite alcoholic drink is my Blackberry Martini. Its made with blackberry jam and rum. You have to try it because its so good!
P/S: Try my pink martini and cantaloupe martini are really delicious. I also made a Hot toddy which has a whiskey kick.
I went with spiced honey tequila because it added just a little sweetness. Topped with peppermint bits, it gives this drink a sweet and minty flavor. The peppermint is definitely the star of this recipe.
