When the temperature drops and everyone’s settling in after dinner, this is the sort of drink that makes the whole room go quiet for a moment. It’s rich, a little mischievous, and ridiculously easy to pull together. Think of it as the grown-up version of the hot chocolate you loved as a kid, dressed up with caramel, a hint of spice, and a smooth splash of bourbon.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Warm the milk, salted caramel drinking chocolate, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat it gently until it’s just about to simmer, whisking so it turns silky.
  2. Stir in the bourbon, then pour into your favorite mugs.
  3. Top with toasted marshmallows and tuck a salted caramel thin on the side or crumble it over the top.
