The Peppermint Twist
I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest fan of peppermint. There, I said it! But I know there are plenty of you out there who absolutely adore the stuff. That’s why I’ve crafted a Boozy Frozen Hot Chocolate that’s sure to satisfy even the most ardent peppermint enthusiasts.
To create this minty masterpiece, I start with a base of rich, creamy hot cocoa, blended to icy perfection with half-and-half and just the right amount of peppermint schnapps. The result is a decadent, boozy treat that’s sure to transport you straight to a winter wonderland.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! I like to top this bad boy off with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate curls, and a candy cane for good measure. It’s a visual feast, to be sure, and the perfect accompaniment to your favorite holiday tunes or a cozy evening by the fire.
The Cinnamon Twist
Now, for those of you who, like me, prefer a little cinnamon spice over the peppermint punch, I’ve got just the thing. Introducing the Cinnamon Boozy Frozen Hot Chocolate!
This version starts with the same rich, creamy hot cocoa base, but this time, I swap out the peppermint schnapps for a decadent cinnamon schnapps. The result is a warm, spicy undertone that perfectly complements the deep, dark chocolate flavor.
To really take this drink to the next level, I like to use dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of the traditional milk chocolate. The combination of the cinnamon schnapps and the dark chocolate is simply out of this world. It’s like a hug in a glass, with just the right amount of boozy kick.
And the best part? This version is just as easy to make as the peppermint variety. Toss it all in the blender, pour it into your festive martini glasses, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of seasonal flair.
