Chocolate Cherry Hot Cocktail Cauldron
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Whisk
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup tart cherry juice
- 4 ounces bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar until fully dissolved and the mixture looks smooth.
- Stir in the tart cherry juice and continue heating until the liquid is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the bourbon and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Ladle the mixture into mugs. Top each serving with a spoonful of whipped cream and one or two maraschino cherries.
Notes
If the cherry juice makes the drink too tart for your taste, add an extra tablespoon of sugar while the milk is heating. Keep the saucepan on the lowest heat setting between servings so the cocktail stays warm without forming a skin. Use a ladle with a spout for easy pouring at the table.
