Mug
Hot Chocolate Sin
2 ingredientsbuilt3 mineasy
A two-ingredient spiked hot chocolate made with Rumple Minze peppermint schnapps stirred into prepared hot chocolate. Rumple Minze is bottled at 100 proof, so a single ounce delivers both intense mint and noticeable alcohol warmth to the chocolate base. The result reads as a strong peppermint hot chocolate.
