Wintertime and the Christmas season just isn’t complete without sipping some delicious hot chocolate. Preferably by a fire. I make hot chocolate every year, but this time I wanted to make a truly Christmas themed drink. This Peppermint Schnapps hot chocolate is a delicious homemade hot chocolate recipe with a peppermint twist!
It’s an easy, alcoholic hot chocolate recipe using peppermint schnapps and topped with whipped cream. Even better, it’s made from scratch. For more peppermint flavor, I added a candy cane. It wasn’t just for decoration (though it was a nice Christmasy touch). Once the candy cane started to melt into the chocolate, it added an even mintier taste.
This homemade spiked hot chocolate recipe makes the perfect Christmas drink (for grownups)! Feel free to add more alcohol for a stronger drink if desired. I hope you enjoy! Want more hot chocolate recipes? Try these:
