Equipment

A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing everything smoothly.
I also recommend using a small saucepan to gently heat your cocoa mixture.
A bar spoon helps blend the ingredients perfectly,

A measuring jigger ensures the right proportions.
Don’t forget a strainer for pouring your drink neatly into a mug or glass.
Oh, and a mug or festive glass makes it even more fun! 😉

Ingredients

Gather your ingredients to infuse holiday cheer into each sip.

Tequila is the star here bringing a unique twist to the classic cocoa drink.
You’ll need some hot cocoa mix and milk to prepare the base.
Add in a splash of peppermint schnapps for that cool minty flavor.

Topping it off with whipped cream and crushed candy canes adds a delicious touch.

Instructions

Here’s how I make this tasty treat.

First, I prepare 8 ounces of hot cocoa using my favorite mix and milk.
In the cocktail shaker, I combine 1 oz of tequila and 1 oz of peppermint schnapps.

Next, I add the hot cocoa to the shaker. Give it a good shake for about 20 seconds to mix all the flavors well. 🕒
Pour the mixture into a mug or festive glass.
Finish off by adding a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes. 🍬

Notes

I like to ensure everything is perfect, so here are some tips. Feel free to adjust the amount of tequila and schnapps according to your taste. If you want a non-alcoholic version, just skip the tequila and schnapps and use peppermint syrup instead.

Remember to stir the cocoa well before adding it to the shaker. This keeps clumps from forming. If you’re serving a group, simply scale the recipe up.

Invite friends over, share the joy of this drink, and be sure to let me know how yours turns out in the comments! 🍹
