Kahlua Hot Chocolate
We are taking a break from eggnog recipes to share this hot chocolate with Kahlua recipe.
The combination of Kahlua and Hot Cocoa is a winter cocktail dream. Flavors of chocolate, coffee liqueur, and cream make me happy.
It has been snowing a lot this week. Every time I shovel the driveway I dream of this hot chocolate waiting for me inside. I am pretty sure a white Christmas will not be a problem this year with the way the forecast looks.
We plan on relaxing and having a low-key holiday. Good food, fun Christmas cocktails, and no stress are our big goals for the holiday. Are you doing anything fun for Christmas?

Recipe Tips
PLEASE use milk to prepare your hot chocolate! I know the box mixes say they can be made with water but for this Kahlua Hot Cocoa recipe you really want to use milk. It will mix together better and taste better.
If you are serving a large group you can easily make a large quantity of hot cocoa and have guest add in the Kahlua.
You can adapt the amount of Kahlua in your cocktail based on how strong you want the drink to be.
