Tips & Tricks

The trick to perfectly balanced spiked hot cocoa is fat! That’s why it’s best to use coconut milk in this recipe. However, since this drink does contain fat from the whipping cream, almond milk can work well too. Fat helps offset the burning sensation from the alcohol.

You can customize this recipe to better suit your likings. For example, use Bailey’s Irish Cream for extra creaminess and chocolate flavor or Frangelico if you love hazelnut flavors.
