10 Spiked Hot Chocolate Cocktails for Weathering Polar Vortex 2019
#PolarVortex2019 is here and a massive portion of America is now so cold it can legally be considered a Slurpee. But there are ways to handle the mad cold that mama nature has wrought upon the U.S., and any reasonable person would say the best one would be to drink lots of spiked hot chocolates. So with that prescription for warmth in mind, here are ten of our favorite spiked hot chocolate recipes!
1. AMARETTO HOT CHOCOLATE
First up we have the super-delicious Amaretto Hot Chocolate. With each sip of this chocolatey almond treat you'll be one step closer to defrosting your icy little organs.

2. CANDY CANE HOT CHOCOLATE
Yeah, it's not Christmas, but it's so cold it may as well be. So bust out with this Candy Cane Hot Chocolate recipe and don't stop drinking until it's warm outside or it's actually Christmas again. (Just kidding, you should probably stop after one of these.)

5. PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE
Oh yeah, we also have this straight-up Peppermint Hot Chocolate. This one is a bit different than the Spiked White Hot Chocolate 'cause it includes chocolate sauce and Irish cream.
