Described as "boozy deliciousness," this spiked hot chocolate finds the perfect use for flavored vodka. Created by McGill University student Jen Berger, the boozy hot chocolate recipe is the only hot beverage recipe you really need this winter.
Containing coffee-flavored vodka, vanilla vodka, milk, sugar, cocoa powder and cinnamon, the spiked hot chocolates take two seconds to make and are even served in microwave-safe mason jars that must come with a lid. The lovely concoction is shaken inside its container and is heated in the microwave. Or, you can experiment with this recipe and find another way to apply heat if the microwave just is not your thing.
Ideal for cool nights, especially before you go out, this recipe is a winner every time.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Flavored Vodka Cocktails
- The popularity of flavored vodkas in hot cocktails could lead to new vodka flavor profiles and cocktails.
- DIY Gourmet Hot Beverages
- The convenience and creativity in making hot drinks at home could disrupt the cafe and coffee-house industries, especially with the adoption of gourmet recipes and advanced techniques.
- Microwave-safe Packaging
- The adoption of sustainable and microwave-safe packaging for hot beverages could disrupt the traditional uses of paper, plastic or styrofoam cups, and make convenient, on-the-go drinking more eco-friendly.
Sectors Adopting This
- Alcohol and Spirits
- The popularity of flavored vodka cocktails could create a new niche market for spirit producers and mixologists to experiment with unique flavors and spirits.
- Gourmet Food and Beverage Retail
- The trend towards DIY gourmet hot beverages could drive demands for premium chocolate, cocoa, and coffee products sold in retail outlets and craft stores.
- Packaging Manufacturing
- The shift towards eco-friendly, microwave-safe packaging for hot beverages could disrupt traditional paper and single-use cups manufacturers and create opportunities for innovative and sustainable packaging companies.
