Drink Recipe: Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps

When I was in college, my roommates and I would always have “hot chocolate dates.” It would give us time to relax and catch up after running around all day.

Our favorite recipe added cinnamon schnapps to the hot chocolate. All you need is a packet of your favorite hot chocolate, a shot glass of peppermint schnapps, and hot water (or milk, if that’s how you like your hot chocolate). It helps to add the

schnapps to the packet of hot chocolate first and then stir. Its just enough liquid that you can dissolve the powder, but not enough liquid that its splashing over the sides. Then top with the hot water (and whipped cream!). Very yummy and minty! Perfect for the holidays and cold weather. I know there are a lot of other mixers out there that you can use to add to hot chocolate, but this has always been my favorite.

Do you like the recipe for hot chocolate? What other mixers do you like to add to your hot chocolate?

I think Kahlua is also good. Perhaps I should have a taste test as a future post? Any other mix-in suggestions?
