Andes Spiked Hot Chocolate – This spiked hot chocolate is one of my favorite holiday drinks! Hot chocolate spiked with Peppermint Schnapps and topped with whipped cream!
Every year I’m on the hunt for a new hot chocolate to add to my holiday drinks collection. It might still be in the upper 90’s here in the Phoenix area, but it does get chilly at night!
We’ve been dropping down to the upper 60’s – while that’s not chilly to come folks, after sweating it out in triple digit temps all summer, 65 degrees is cold for us. At least it is for me.
Andes Spiked Hot Chocolate
This Andes Hot Chocolate combines the best of everything – Andes mints, hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps and whip cream. Have you ever tried Andes mints? Andes mints bring back memories for me as a kid. My mom used to buy box upon box at the holidays and put them under the tree.
I remember one Sunday afternoon, my brothers and I opened up every box and decided we’d finish them off. Not just one or two, but every. Single. Box.
Don’t ever do that. Just don’t ever do it.
She found us, hiding behind the sofa with empty boxes of mints… It wasn’t long after, we were throwing up for hours. And hours. And I swore on my life I would never touch an Andes mint (or anything mint!) ever again. It has taken me 30 years to get to the point of even considering a beverage with Andes mints… so that says something!
