I dream up and experiment with cocktail recipes. Then I share my favorite every Monday. Give something a try if it sounds good to you. If you stick with me, every week will include a flavor adventure.

Kick Ass Hot Chocolate

Indulge in the endorphin rush of milk chocolate with a kick of ginger. Add a splash of orange liqueur and you’re ready to warm-up in a chilly winter haze.


Ingredients:

Milk chocolate chips
Almond Milk
Ginger juice
Grand Marnier

Grate fresh ginger root (one piece, as pictured, is sufficient for one serving). Place grated ginger in fine sieve and press juice through with a large spoon. Add 4 teaspoons ginger juice and ¼ cup Grand Marnier to mug. In a small sauce pot continuously stir ¼ cup milk chocolate chips on low heat until completely melted. Shake container of plain almond milk. Slowly pour ½ cup of almond milk into pot, increase temp to medium and continuously stir until fully incorporated. Continue to stir until hot. Pour hot chocolate into mug. WARNING: Do not use cow’s milk, the ginger will cause it to curd.
