Hot chocolate is already a comfort drink, but adding a splash of alcohol turns it into a cozy, grown-up indulgence that’s perfect for cold nights and holiday gatherings. This spiked hot chocolate starts with my favorite homemade base, The Best Hot Chocolate, and finishes with one simple upgrade: a shot of Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlua, or spiced rum (or your favorite spirit). Each variation brings its own flavor profile, but all three deliver rich chocolate flavor with a warming adult twist.
