Lately chocolate is dominating our recipes, trials, and dreams. We want to see how far it is possible to go and so here it is a new spicy chocolate cocktail. It’s not a real cocktail like a Dry Martini or Sex on the Beach, it’s a kind of super delicious and boozy hot chocolate to drink during winter.
Yes, because its peculiarity is the presence of the chili pepper as a chocolate companion, in pure Mexican style.
You can drink this spicy hot chocolate as an after-dinner or dessert for Christmas or instead of the classic five o’clock tea. Remember that you can also serve it cold and well shaken during the hottest periods of the year.
Hasta luego muchachos!

How to prepare the hot chocolate with dark chocolate, chili, and rum
A clarification before starting: if you want to put up a delicious spiced but non-alcoholic cup of hot chocolate, all you have to do is omit the alcohol and the result will still be splendid.
Put the milk to boil in a saucepan, bringing it to a boil slowly. At the first bubbles turn off.
Break the chocolate and toss it in the pan, stir and add all the other ingredients.
