Dirty Snowman Hot Chocolate Cocktail

The Dirty Snowman cocktail is a boozy winter drink made with rich hot chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and Baileys.

Topped with fluffy whipped cream and sprinkles, this indulging adult hot chocolate is basically a dessert in a cocktail form. Just like our boozy caramel hot chocolate.

The warm hot chocolate melts the ice cream as you sip away, creating a delicious mixture of melted ice cream, hot cocoa, and Baileys. Simply amazing.

If you a fan of Baileys like I am, you will also love this Baileys Irish Cream Poke Cake.

      Yes, you can make whatever kind of hot chocolate you would like. Homemade or from mix. If using a mix just follow the directions on the mix. If they say you can use water or milk I would choose milk since it will be creamier. Also, yes the hot chocolate should be heated and warm. Enjoy!

      Yes, you could use hot chocolate from a K-cup. However, that kind of hot chocolate is less creamy than hot chocolate made with milk so you will want to keep that in mind.
