Cold Outside, Fireplace Inside and….

For the cosiest of time and the loveliest of drinks, go for this one. I could call it a martini but we would be lying. It takes heat proof glasses….

You will need (if serving 6)

• 4 cups eggnog,
• 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder,
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup grated semi-sweet chocolate
• 8 oz. cinnamon vodka

Garnish: cinnamon sticks and more grated chocolate.

In a large saucepan, combine eggnog, cocoa and cinnamon and whisk together until combined. heat until it simmers only (NOT BOIL). Add the chocolate and whisk together until melted.
