Mexican Hot Chocolate


Well, I was looking for a sinful treat this afternoon and I thought I'd found it with this. Chocolate and alcohol...sounds like a perfect combo to me...but I ended up disappointed with this. Maybe it's because I didn't have the whipped cream topper...but Nigella says this is optional. No doubt it would have been better with it. But it's not supposed to be essential. I didn't have any cinnamon sticks, so in lieu of that I sprinkled ground cinnamon on top - like a cappuccino - and that I don't think was a deal breaker either - but I'm not an expert.

I think what was not suited to my taste buds was drinking warm Kahula. I'm more of a Bailey's girl for warm drinks and I don't think I'll be switching to Kahula any time soon. I'll keep my Kahula's in my brown cows (not that I drink those on a regular basis).

If you are the kind of person who puts Kahula in your coffee you'll probably really like this recipe though. It would be great to serve as a dessert at a dinner party. Especially on a cold winter day. But for me this drink just did not trun my crank.
