Ingredients

  • 4 oz Premium hot chocolate* (drinking chocolate)
  • 1 oz Peppermint Schnapps
  • 1 miniature Candy cane for garnish
  • 1/4 cup Fresh whipped cream for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Top a cup of premium hot cocoa with an oz of Peppermint Schnapps.
  • Stir with a candy cane and top with whipped cream, (optional).

Notes

* See my recommendations for a good drinking chocolate mix above.

If you don't have peppermint schnapps, you can use crème de menthe or make your own peppermint-flavored vodka. See the notes under Substitutions above. 

Note that the candy cane and whipped cream garnishes are completely optional but we did add them into the calorie calculations.
