A Hot Chocolate Cocktail with a Hint of Mint

When it’s cold outside, nothing beats snuggling up with a hot drink, (especially a stiff one). This Hot Chocolate Cocktail recipe comes to us from the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek, Colorado. And believe, me the people at Bachelor Gulch know a thing or two about how to make some heat in the dead of winter.

I love the recipe because it features multiple aphrodisiac ingredients. First, there’s the chocolate, which is one of the world’s most legendary aphrodisiacs. Then, there’s the peppermint. Learn more about mint’s aphrodisiac history. And of course, there’s alcohol, which is known, in the right dose, to lower inhibition without inhibiting performance.

This hot chocolate cocktail recipe recommends using your favorite hot chocolate. But in order to take the sophistication up a notch, I suggest making them with Dagoba drinking chocolate, a seductive hot chocolate alternative with great depth of dark chocolate flavor. For more information, check out my review.
