Very Merry Cocoa

dotw logoThis is a unique one from the reader archives, a warm drink with Vodka. The cocktail combines cocoa vodka, Kahlua and Creme de Menthe. It’s the Holidays in a mug! Thanks, Emily!

Ingredients

  • Cocoa
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz Kahlúa coffee liqueur
  • 1 oz crème de menthe (white or green, your choice—I like green)
  • 1 oz Baileys or a hazelnut creme
  • Mini-marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

Mix the liquors together in a glass or shaker first. Make cocoa as you normally would (leaving out some of the water/milk), then dump the liquor mix in on top, and stir. It's cocoa with a pretty strong kick, but the mini-marshmallows can make you feel like a kid again. Just don't let the kids confuse the drinks!
