Amaretto or Baileys for hot chocolate?

Which should I buy to add to hot chocolate?

I have Whittard hot chocolate which up to now I've found the best but I'd be grateful for any other supermarket recommendations, since I don't think Whittards is stocked? (I got mine from the outlet shop.)

Ooh, what about frangelicoSmile

I’d say Kahlua personally. I like the clipper hot chocolate, not too sweet.

@Allamericanreject good lords that sounds bloody amazing! I never would have thought to put Malibu in a hot drink!

Amaretto. Or Amarula instead of Baileys, it's not so claggy.

It’s a hazelnut liquor. Delicious.

Either!
Both!

Amaretto. Just forget the hot chocolate, just use ice instead. Delicious!

Oh Christ, lots of brilliant suggestions. Frangelico is new to me too.

And I've just realised I have kirsch in so might have to go at that for a kick off.

Amaretto for me. I prefer baileys in coffee.

You could also get some rosewater for Turkish delight hot chocolate.

Peppermint schnapps. Gorgeous.

Hot chocolate is just perfect as is.

MrsKingfisher · 26/11/2020 20:24

Disarono now do a velvet version, cream based amaretto.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 26/11/2020 20:31

Baileys and frangelico topped up with almond milk and ice - makes the baileys last a bit longer and you don't wake up with that really thirsty feeling!

dopenguinsdance · 26/11/2020 20:35

Sambucca.

thegcatsmother · 27/11/2020 00:56

Twinings Hot Chocolate, with some Lamb's Navy Rum.

Chimbleys · 27/11/2020 01:55

Cherry brandy for me.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 27/11/2020 02:25

Hic.

Need to check out the bottles tomorrow see what needs to go on order!

Look up some cocktails for the many bottles that are taking up space...

I'll be back if I can't find a good use for any of them, I'm sure you lot can help!! 🤣

Nervousseller2020 · 27/11/2020 10:51

I agree with Frangelico. I also like kirsch, for a Black Forest hot chocolate, topped with cream.

I don't like Baileys in hot chocolate personally.
