Thank goodness, 2017 is nearly behind us! Instead of diving into the chaos of the past year, let’s celebrate the fact that this week is all about relaxation. It’s that blissful lull between Christmas and New Year’s, a perfect moment to unwind with a cozy cup of red wine hot cocoa. Yes, you heard that right—your two favorite indulgences combined into a steamy mug of happiness.
This delightful concoction is brought to you by Elite Daily, and trust us, you’ll want to save this recipe for future use. First off, just look at that gorgeous mug of goodness! Now, let’s get to the fun part—gather your ingredients: three teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, four teaspoons of sugar, and a pinch (1/8th teaspoon) of salt. Mix these together in a small pot.
Next, stir in two to three tablespoons of milk, and then for the pièce de résistance, pour in a quarter cup of red wine. Feel free to add a splash more if you’re feeling adventurous—after all, it’s the holidays!
Once you’ve heated it up nicely, pour it into your favorite mug, kick back, and fire up Netflix. And if you’re anything like me, slip into those adorable adult footed pajamas you impulsively bought last week. Because really, why not?
But wait, the fun doesn’t stop there! As seen on Instagram, there are countless ways to customize your drink. Elite Daily suggests swapping out cocoa powder for melted chocolate chips for a richer flavor, which we wholeheartedly support. You can also toss in heaps of marshmallows, sprinkle some cocoa on top, or even add a dash of cinnamon. Want it creamier? Use half-and-half instead of milk! The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination and tolerance for merriment.
Oh, and if you’re feeling extra indulgent, don’t forget to pair your drink with some delicious red wine brownies from A Cookie Named Desire. If this is culinary inception, may it never end—more red wine in all the things, please!
Happy sipping (and snacking)!
