"Just for Grown-ups"

Drinks for the Holidays

 

Everyone loves to eat great food over the holidays. This year spice up your holiday party with some creative, delicious drinks. "Adults Only".

1. Peppermint Hot Chocolate (My favorite!)

1 large "tub" instant hot chocolate

1 bottle light creme de cacao 

1 bottle Dekuyper Peppermint 100 proof

1 bottle Pinnacle Marshmallow flavor Vodka

large straight candy canes for "stirrers" (optional)

This hot chocolate is great for a big party. Make the whole tub of hot chocolate in a crock pot and set to "warm" to keep it ready all night long. Set out festive, cute mugs and candy cane stirrers and you are all set!

This recipe is for making the whole tub of hot chocolate, but you can follow the instructions on the back of the tub to make less for individual servings.

Empty all contents of hot chocolate tub into a crock pot. Add 1/2 of the amount of water as specified on back of hot chocolate tub into the crock pot.  (The other 1/2 of this water will be replaced with liquor below.) Stir mixture. Add 2 to 3 ounces of Pinnacle Marshmallow flavor Vodka. Stir. Add equal amounts of the Creme de Cacao and Dekuyper Peppermint to equal the remaining amount of water that would have been added from the back of the hot chocolate tub. Stir. Using a ladle, taste your Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Add more Dekuyper Peppermint to suit your tastes. Stir.

Set crock pot to "warm". Garnish the hot chocolate in mugs with a peppermint candy cane for a stirrer. 

Enjoy!
