Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate is the best kind of beverage to enjoy on a chilly day!

Recipe: Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate (1)
As much as I don’t enjoy winter, I do have to say I love hot, cozy beverages. You can’t really truly enjoy a hot chocolate in the middle of the summer, unless you try a frozen hot chocolate, but hot chocolate on a cold, winter day can do just the trick to take the chill off.

I found the perfect way to add a little more “festive” to my favorite winter drink. KahlúaPeppermint Mocha. I love all the many flavors of Kahlua, but this one is the best for the winter season. I’m all about festive co*cktails this time of year. Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate is sure to top my list as a favorite, sit by the fire, snuggle up with a good book, kind of drink.

I love how adding a splash of this variety of Kahlua can turn an ordinary day into a festive occasion. Make yourself a mug today or create your own recipe using Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha. The Kahlúa Facebook page can help you figure out just how to best enjoy your hot chocolate and your company. Whatever you chose to do, take some time to relax and unwind this holiday season. Enjoy!
