What 'spirit' goes best with hot chocolate?

bishop2knight · 11-21-07, 03:08 PM

It's cold and I'm thinking of having a nice after work drink when I get home. I love me some hot chocolate, but need to add a little somethin' somethin' to get me in the holiday spirit.

So, what should I add to my hot chocolate? Any good recipes?

I'd say some sort of liqueur, like Frangelico, amaretto, or a coffee liqueur like Chouffe (which tastes like coffee, not "coffee").

I love mixing Aftershock with hot chocolate!

Vibiana · 11-21-07, 03:22 PM

Forget the hot chocolate ... mix up some hot Tom & Jerrys.

shizawn · 11-21-07, 03:41 PM

Peppermint Schnapps.

I can't believe nobody has posted the correct answer yet...

PEPPERMINT SCHNAPPS!!

Edit: Dammit, beat me when I was typing!

Bailey's

It works especially well with Mexican hot chocolate.

Known as a Girl Scout because if you do it correctly it tastes like a Thin Mint.

We always added a cinnamon stick and called them Grinches.

Peppermint or Butterscotch schnapps , or maybe baileys

Thor Simpson · 11-21-07, 05:35 PM

Baileys. Or urine.

crazyronin · 11-21-07, 05:40 PM

Rumplemintz. Although its cachet dropped when it became a favorite of the emo crowd.

Mrs. Danger · 11-21-07, 05:59 PM

RUM!

Irish Cream.

Experiment, and post the results.

Always went with peppermint schnapps and for an added flourish, at least with guests, one of those baby candy canes draped over the side of the mug.

krkuhl · 11-22-07, 11:15 PM

Put Bailey's before the Butterscotch schnapps, and that's my suggestion.
