Ditch the peppermint and substitute a larger portion of whiskey than G85 describes. Alternatively you could ditch the cocoa and the other ingredients and just use the larger measure of whiskey. 

Now that sounds about right.

    2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 tablespoons sugar
    Pinch of salt
    1 cup whole milk
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 peppermint candy cane

Whisk together the cocoa, sugar, salt, and about 2 tablespoons milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until cocoa and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the rest of the milk and crushed peppermint and heat it over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it is hot. Stir in the vanilla and serve in favorite mug. I like to save a bit of the peppermint to sprinkle over some whipped cream.


That looks scrumptious Budhorse ;D In fact I was going to get another cup of coffee this morning, but that looks so good I just talked one of my co-workers into taking a walk with me down to the cafe in our building so we both could get a Hot-Chocolate.
It won't be as good as yours, but they do a nice job.

Why are you mad at your mates Tank, did they stick you with the bill?

You've got me worried, I hope you consult a physician if these symptoms persist.

I agree with Eric the Fifth, you simply can't parade around being cheerful for no apparent reason, it's simply uncalled for, and quite frankly reeks slightly of comeuppance. ;D

LOL :D it has nothing to do with comeuppance, more like feeling slightly cheerfully bored and wanting to blurt out some random thought. :)

Yes! Not only is it dangerous and potentially contagious, but unless you are a rattie, The Asmo disapproves of it also.
