Bourbon Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate recipe can be combined with our J.W. Kelly Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey OR - for a bolder kick - mix in 4 oz of Smokehead original.

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 tablespoons (4 oz) of J.W. Kelly Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey;

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar;

• dash of salt;

• 1/3 cup boiling water;

• 1 teaspoon vanilla;

• 2 tablespoons half and half (optional);

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder;

• 1 cup mini marshmallows.

PREPARATION:

1. In a medium saucepan stir together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.

2. Stir in the boiling water until the sugar has dissolved and the cocoa isn't lumpy. Turn the burner to medium heat.

3. Stir in the milk. Let the milk heat up, stirring occasionally. Watch it carefully so it doesn't scorch!! Remember you are just warming the milk.

4. Remove it from the heat when warmed to appropriate drinking temperature and stir in the vanilla, half and half, and bourbon.

5. Divide the hot chocolate between 4 mugs, top each with marshmallows, and serve immediately.
