Spiked hot chocolate whiskey is your cocktail staple for winter! This recipe features Irish Whiskey, dark chocolate, and marshmallows. Creamy and delicious.
When cooler weather comes around, my alcoholic beverages switch from mixed drinks to spiked hot chocolate. If you’ve never had a creamy, chocolate-y drink like this one . . . with Irish Whiskey . . . you’re missing out.
In fact, I serve this at every holiday party due to demand. My friends and family and I don’t speak of this drink outside the ~six week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But during those six weeks, we talk about this whiskey cocktail a lot.
I’m not saying indulge every day – but I am saying to do it now and again. The holidays are perfect for it.
This spiked hot chocolate beverage with Irish Whiskey is perfect with toasted marshmallows and a touch of fall spice. You’re going to thank me for this winter cocktail recipe. Promise!
