Charity Craig It took Judy the Elf, in the movie Santa Clause, 1200 years to perfect her cocoa recipe. Now, that’s some cocoa I wanna try, but alas, she didn’t share her recipe, but she did give us some little secrets to her success:
“Not too hot, eeeeextra chocolate, shaken not stirred.”
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like one heck of a cocktail, and since Scott Calvin asked for his drink to be stiff, I have a sneaky suspicion there’s more than just chocolate in that yummy cocoa.
Even Toy Santa in Santa Clause 2 is quoted saying, “Ohhh woooaaah…I think Santa feels a little buzz!”
So we’re making Santa’s Spiked Cocoa like we think it’s really made. We hope you enjoy this week’s Disney Inspired Cocktail!
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (Extra chocolate!)
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 part marshmallow or whipped cream vodka
- In large saucepan, stir cocoa powder and sugar
- Add hot water and stir
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil two minutes.
- Add milk. Heat until hot. (Do not boil)
- Remove from heat, add vanilla
- Pour 1 cup cocoa and vodka into cocktail shaker. Shake for 5-10 seconds
- Pour in mug, and serve not too hot
- Careful when you shake hot cocoa -- it can explode! 🙂
