As temps are at their highest and pool time is in its prime time, so too is frozen drink season!

I whipped up some Strawberry Raspberry Coconut Daiquiris last month,

But I wanted something a little less fruity and a little more chocolatey because who can say no to chocolate?

Remember that over-the-top frozen hot chocolate that people flocked to NYC for (much like the cronut today)? Oh, food trends!

Well, I, Ashley just realized that I have actually never had one. Not a one!

So I recently set off, determined to make one of these sweet, chocolatey, cooling concoctions, with a little kick, of course.

Meet the Boozy Frozen Hot Chocolate Cocktail!

Ingredients Needed To Make A Boozy Frozen Hot Chocolate Cocktail 

Any recipe I came across for this famous (infamous?) drink called for cocoa powder or, worse pre-made hot chocolate mix.

I have never been a fan of those mix packets! 

Thin and lacking in any rich chocolate flavor, it’s not something I dream about for a delicious hot chocolate drink.

This recipe, on the other hand, is something I will be dreaming about well into winter. (Thank goodness for regular hot chocolate!) 

A mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate keeps it from being too cloyingly sweet while providing all of the chocolatey goodness.

In true craft and cocktails style, I added some bourbon to the frozen hot chocolate to make it the perfect after-dinner or poolside drink!

How to Make Boozy Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe

Step 1 — Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat, constantly whisking until warm but not boiling.

Step 2 — Take off the heat and whisk in the dark and semi-sweet chocolates. Once the chocolate has melted, whisk in the bourbon, sugar, and salt.

Step 3 — Whisk in the cold cream to cool the mixture. If the mixture is still too warm, let it cool in the fridge for a bit.

Step 4 — Add the chocolate mixture into a blender with ice. Blend until the ice has fully incorporated.

Step 5 — Pour into large glasses. Top each glass with whipped cream and garnish with a skewer of marshmallows.

Everything is made a little better with some booze and marshmallows, don’t you think?

These rainbow marshmallows, in particular, bring the fun level up a few notches!

I used these colorful Craftsman & Wolves ones, but regular marshmallows will do too.
