Alcohol in hot cocoa

edited November 2013 in March 2014 Moms
Ok you guys were all awesome and helped me decide what I'm going to make for my family for Christmas!

Now, if I could get your opinion: what kind of alcohol should I tie to the cocoa mix?

I'll put a picture of what I'm going to make in the next post - apparently you can't put pictures in Poll discussions?

    Baileys, Peppermint Liquor, Godiva Liquor, hazlenut liquor (can't think of what that is called), chocolate vodka, marshmallow vodka. Not sure if the vodka's have the little bottles or not though but the others definitely do.

    You've already got peppermints in the mix so I would stick with a peppermint liquor too.  I love Bailey's, but for me, Bailey's is more something I mix with milk or coffee.

    This! If you wanted there is a Creme de mente bailey's, you could use that!
    It's a cute idea! I might steal it for some of my gifts!

    Marshmallow vodka? That sounds delish!!!

    @codec - lol nothing wrong with that as long as they taste good!!! Homemade brownies are the beeesssstttt though!

    This is where I'm getting the idea from.  She made them so they made appx 25-30 cups of cocoa, I will probably cut that in 1/2...

    Or you could do chambord. Raspberry and chocolate go great together.

    Vanilla Vodka is an option too if you can't find mini marshmallow vodkas. I make all my white russians with vanilla vodka instead of regular and it makes the drink so much tastier! :) Oh how I miss a drink now and then! *le sigh*

    Making your own irish creme is fairly simple! Plus, you could always jazz it up with some fresh mint, or peppermint extract! Yum!

    I always feel that peppermint liqueur over powers whatever I'm drinking, so I'd avoid that one bc not everyone likes it. But any of the other ones sound great!

    And I may steal this idea :)

    I usually do peppermint schnapps, bailey's, and kaluah all together...it's awesome!

    I've also done goldschlagger with hot chocolate a few times and that's pretty good as well. NOMS!
