Cocktail of the Month: Mexican Hot Chocolate Martini

Hot chocolate is the perfect winter beverage to warm you from the inside out. Hot chocolate martinis take that warmth to a whole new level.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Espresso Martini

Mexican hot chocolate is a richer, spicier, creamy hot chocolate traditionally prepared with bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of chili powder. Compared to traditional American hot chocolate, it's not overly sweet and features a unique flavor profile. Our cocktail builds on these spices thanks to a housemade cocoa infused vodka, a kick of cinnamon whiskey, and a shot of espresso for an extra bite.

Say goodbye to eggnog, the Mexican Hot Chocolate Martini is your new favorite festive winter cocktail.
