Baileys!

I gave up alcohol years ago but it used to be a small shot of baileys or amaretto. These days I like to add a bit of orange zest or some caramel syrup and/or a pinch of sea salt.

I've heard of people adding chilli for a bit of a kick and can imagine it works well but haven't tried it as I'm a wimp when it comes to any form of heat.

Got to be baileys added with hot chocolate 😍

Tia Maria?

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 29/09/2023 00:12

I quite like a shot of malibu in hot chocolate on the very rare occasion I fancy either alcohol or hot chocolate.
Amaretto or baileys work well too.

DonttouchthatLarry · 29/09/2023 00:15

Definitely Bailey's - or a cheaper equivalent 😉

Moveoverdarlin · 29/09/2023 00:20

I add Baileys to coffee too.

CapEBarra · 29/09/2023 00:20

I’m not a fan of hot chocolate but I imagine most liqueurs work well - cherry brandy, Cointreau, amaretto, coconut, etc.

S910441 · 29/09/2023 00:22

Kahlua (sp?).

Dancingdreamer · 29/09/2023 00:23

It’s always Cointreau in our house

RobinGet · 29/09/2023 00:31

Baileys or Kahlua

junbean · 29/09/2023 01:54

Where I'm from we do cinnamon and chili, or peppermint. Hazelnut is good too.

Newestname002 · 29/09/2023 04:32

Three shakes of ground cinnamon plus two of ground nutmeg

MrsHughesPinny · 29/09/2023 05:07

Little splash of Cointreau for me!

parsonsnose · 29/09/2023 21:35

thanks everyone! have sourced a bottle of Baileys Luxe and it packs quite a punch😆
Does anyone put anything in coffee in colder months ? trouble with that is unless you're impervious to caffeine you'd have to drink it early in the day i suppose.. know of someone who puts Amarula Cream Liqueur and a spoonful of chocolate in their cup o' joe🤔

I make my hot choc with grated Montezuma Black Choc so it is really rich and non sweet, tastes almost alcoholic.

parsonsnose · 29/09/2023 22:14

@EyesOnThePies is that 100% ? might try it thanks, with milk obvi ?

Creme de menthe

Mumtobabyhavoc · 30/09/2023 00:23

Peppermint Schnapps, Kahlua or Caroline's/Bailey's.
