Whisky Hot Chocolate

December 21, 2016

Yes whisky hot chocolate. At first I was like ugh I don’t know if this is going to be any good. My husband was like ughhh I’ll just have the whisky lol. It actually turned out to be delicious. Any Bailey’s Irish Cream lovers? This drink is for you. One of my fondest moments of the holidays is sitting around the fire with my family and enjoying a glass or two of Baileys. I like how this drink is different because you really get that hot chocolate flavor in every sip and the after kick of the whisky just warms you right up. Be sure to use Irish whisky or Scotch whisky like Glengrant or Glenlivet for this to turn out tasty. Enjoy this by the fire with some warm cookies or cake. My mom makes a Christmas fruit cake every year and I just loooove it. She marinates all the fruits in rum and sherry for six months before she makes it. The fruits are so soaked and all the flavor just drifts into the cake. So so good! I won’t be going home to Canada this year, so my mom sent some cake in the mail. Bless her! It was so delish with this whisky hot chocolate. Enjoy!

 


Whisky Hot Chocolate

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 tsp chili powder

2 Cups Milk or Half and Half

2-3 fl oz Irish or Scotch Whisky

Caramel and marshmallows for the topping

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add the sugar, cocoa, chocolate chips, chili powder and milk to a saucepan.
  2. Heat on medium high heat, stirring constantly with a whisk to melt the chips and dissolve the cocoa.
  3. Bring the hot chocolate to a steam and not a boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in the whisky.
  5. Pour into two mugs and top with marshmallows and ample amounts of caramel.

 

*If you aren’t a whisky person I suggest going with 2 fl oz if you don’t want it that strong. I didn’t want this too sweet either but you can sweeten it up more with 1/2 a cup of sugar instead of the 1/4 cup. Also use whole milk or any milk of your choice depending on how rich you want it to be.

I found this delicious original recipe here and tweaked it to my liking and taste.

Happy Holidays!

Living room update: A bunch of you guys were askin Living room update: A bunch of you guys were asking about this rug in my stories so here it is. ✨ 

I ended up switching it up to this much larger & softer rug at a fraction of the price I paid for the first rug. I love it much better now. ✨

Here’s the link to shop the new rug in my living room.

I’m thinking maybe to do an ornate floor mirror instead of art. What do you guys think? A gold mirror or art for a French modern vibe? ✨formallivingroom #frenchmodern

We just had the final walk through at our new hous We just had the final walk through at our new house and now we’re 2 days away from closing escrow on our first home together. To say the least the journey to buying our home has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs since we started looking back in November. I am soooo happy it’s finally over. Ahhh! Need a vaycay after that. 

I’ve always dreamt of ending up in San Diego ever since I moved to LA almost 7 years ago now, but something about Temecula spoke deeply to me. I thought it wasn’t for me but as soon as we got there, it was like there was something in the air. My heart opened and my body immediately began to relax. It felt like home.

Only 20 mins from San Diego so we can still do all the fun family activities I love there, but then we also get the beauty and serenity of living in Temecula wine country.

So beyond excited for this new chapter with my loves and to have a beautiful home to call our own. 

Big THANK YOU to our agent @sandraluesse for getting it done for us!! It was a ride girl lol!! Love youuuu 💕❣️💕

Our favorite day of the year has come and gone. I Our favorite day of the year has come and gone. I miss it already. 

Soleil was so excited for Christmas. I wasn’t sure if she’d get it or be into it but she totally did. She’s been asking to wear her Christmas pjs all week long and has been saying Santa on repeat.

It was just pure magic enjoying the day with her and making “eat” as she calls it in her new kitchen from Santa.
