Notes & Tips:
Prepare drink just before serving.
Hot chocolate, and liquor amounts can be doubled, tripled, etc. and combined in advance, but pour over individual glasses with ice cream scoop just before serving.
You could really mix things up and use your favorite liquors in this drink - rum, coconut rum, or Bailey’s would all be yummy. A chocolate vodka could also work. You could also substitute chocolate ice cream or use a combination.
This is a pretty rich drink. The liquor taste is present, but not too overpowering; you could add more alcohol if you’d like - the hot chocolate and ice cream are heavy enough to support a stronger drink.
Use a nice quality hot chocolate - I use the hot cocoa recipe on the Hershey’s cocoa powder container.
