Oh boy do I love the holidays! And oh boy are they a comin’!!!

I created this r i c h [adult] beverage to get my household in the spirit this year! And when I say “rich” I mean RICH …this is one smooth, chocolatey, flavorful drink that might just win in a competition against velvet itself! This drink is also meant to be sipped slowly, and once you try it you will know why! It’s just too good to gulp.

You will need:

1 14 oz can of light coconut milk

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup half and half (or whatever milk you prefer- almond, rice, etc. Just make sure its unsweetened)

1/2 cup of water (use another 1/2 cup of milk for super rich consistency)

1/3 cup good Bourbon (or more if you like to party…)

1/2 tsp good vanilla extract

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp coarse salt

In a medium sized sauce pan combine light coconut milk and chocolate chips. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until chocolate has completely melted.

Stir in milk, water, bourbon, vanilla, cayenne, and salt. Let heat over medium heat until warmed through and begins to bubble around the edges.

Ladle into small mugs or glasses designed for sipping and top with marshmallows (optional). ENJOY!

Also, I have to give a quick shout out to my main man. We just celebrated 2 years of marriage and every year (two whole times haha) we have a picnic in our wedding clothes and play cards. Here is a picture of that and our pup Captain (@captains_log_ …yes, the dog has his own isntagram… don’t judge OR if you do, don’t tell me about it) sniffing our blanket.
