For the following reasons, I’ve decided to make my first official post a “Mix on Tap.”
1. It’s really cold outside right now (at least in NYC)
2. It’s almost a new year, meaning your work life may have been a *little* stressful due to the end of the year crunch.
What better way to solve both problems than with a little hot chocolate and a little alcohol?
Combine the best of both worlds in this delicious chocolatey treat I like to call “Hot Cocoa for Grown-ups,” aka a reminder that a little liquor goes a long way.
Hot Cocoa for Grown-ups Recipe:
ingredients: Creme de Menthe (the bright green kind), Creme de Cacao, Frangelico (hazelnut liquor), any brand of milk chocolate hot cocoa powder, regular sized coffee mug
1. Boil water and prepare hot chocolate as normal (no milk, however!). Be sure to leave your cup with a little more room at the top than usual.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of creme de cacao, 2 tablespoons of creme de menthe, and 1 tablespoon of Frangelico.
3. Stir like mad. Drink. Enjoy.
