The holidays are fast approaching and Old Man Winter is knocking at the door. However, I have the perfect stress free sip that will bring a smile to your soul – a creamy Chila ‘Orchata White Hot Chocolate that is so easy to make, you will never look at those instant cocoa mix packets ever again.

Ever since I learned to make hot chocolate from scratch, I wondered why I didn’t learn how to make homemade hot chocolate sooner. It just takes a few ingredients to whisk up something creamy and delicious and, if you are feeling a touch decadent, you can add a bit of spirit and heavy cream to the mix for something that is truly out of this world. You control the flavor and the ingredients and the possibilities are endless.

I have been making hot chocolate laced with cinnamon since I can remember. There’s something about that warming spice that makes it a perfect compliment to a mug of chocolate. When one of my favorite spirits, Chila ‘Orchata, asked if I had a cocktail that would be fabulous for the holidays, I knew immediately it had to be something perfect for sipping by the lights of a twinkling tree or a roaring fire but with a twist.

Chila ‘Orchata is a delicious cinnamon cream rum that is a blend of cinnamon horchata, rich Puerto Rican rum and Tahitian vanilla that adds the perfect twist to your favorite martini, coffee or cocoa and, of course, this sip. If it’s not in your liquor cabinets, you so need a bottle this holiday season. It’s perfect on the rocks, drizzled into your iced latte or baked into your favorite sweet treat like these scrumptious Chila ‘Orchata Mini Bundt Cakes. This rich yet delicate cream rum is the perfect fusion of flavors.

I made a white hot chocolate that really only took a few ingredients. I added a hint of extra cinnamon and let a cinnamon stick simmer in the mix. Ladled into mugs with a cinnamon stick “stirrer”, this Chila ‘Orchata White Hot Chocolate is the perfect sip to enjoy with friends and family, or even just sip by yourself when you have a little “me” time.

Bonus tip – if you want to double or triple the recipe to make a huge pot of this in the slow cooker, you can – just keep everything on low for about 2 hours, stir every 30 minutes and add the Chila ‘Orchata to the mug before ladling in the white hot chocolate. It couldn’t be easier!

This creamy Chila ‘Orchata White Hot Chocolate will be fabulous for a signature-warming sip this holiday season.
