Boozy Hot Chocolate

Time :5 minutes
Yield :1 serving

Recipe Background

One of the best things about winter is watching the snow as it falls outside the windows with a warm mug of hot cocoa in your hands. The only thing that could make it better is a little extra merriment in every sip. Boozy Hot Chocolate is a richer and more chocolatey hot cocoa — made with real chocolate — with just a splash of liquor to lift your spirits. For the creamiest Boozy Hot Chocolate, we recommend a cream liqueur, but you'll find that any of your favorite brews blend well with this dessert drink!
