A Quick Chocolatey Mix and A Smooth Chaser

Something To Unwind With

Some days are rough, some nights are tough, and sometimes you just need a little sweet and smooth to take the edge off.
Let's try a "cool" hot chocolate with a boozy twist.  
Measurements for this will be less measurement and more pour time (like in spoken seconds, but no "Mississippi", got me?)

First, boil up some hot water and make yourself a "dense" hot chocolate in a mug.  Dense means I'm only filling the mug a quarter and stirring in the mix.  I then pour in two splashes of 2% milk, and stir.  Now the second pours:
2 seconds your favorite Chocolate Wine
4 seconds white chocolate liqueur
4-5 seconds milk chocolate liqueur 
Stir and place in the fridge for a few minutes
Once you take it out you're good to go, but if you're feeling cute, put some whipped cream on top and snuggle up with a short stack of cookies and your favorite show, and enjoy your cheat night.

Pre-Emptive Chase

On rough days, my wife will contact me on her way out of work and I know just what to prepare.  We're simple people when it comes to flavor palettes, and low ingredient count serves us well, both for effect and digestion.

On your next rough day, try this out.

Walk in, drop your stuff, and down a shot of straight Cinnamon Whiskey (Fireball will do just fine).  
Then take a saunter around the house and mix yourself a lovely Disaronno and Coke.  The Cinnamon Whiskey will mix well with the smooth amaretto and peppery Coca-Cola.

And that's all for now from the Moonriver.
Don't forget to love each other, and please enjoy responsibly.
