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.
