This boozy hot chocolate with caramel vodka is simple to make on the stovetop and perfect for chilly winter nights.

For more hot cocktails with vodka try our boozy apple cider recipe.

Or for a non-alcoholic option, try our salted caramel hot chocolate.

This adult hot chocolate is perfect for curling up on the couch with your favorite book.

It is also a great option for Fall and Winter parties and holidays, as is this old-fashioned hot buttered rum recipe.

Ingredients

Here is what you will need for this hot cocktail…

  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3 oz. Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka (also great in these caramel apple shots!)
  • Optional Toppings: whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, marshmallows, etc…

If you have never had Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka before, you are in for a treat. It is infused with the taste of homemade caramels with just a hit of sea salt–perfect for making spiked hot chocolate!

Although if you would prefer to use an unflavored vodka, that works too! Substitute with the same amount for a non-caramel flavored boozy hot cocoa.
