Mezcal hot chocolate

A warm and cozy cocktail, perfect for the festive season.

Usually I really enjoy summers in Boston. Sure, it can get pretty hot, but it rarely comes even close to rivaling the Louisiana temperatures of my childhood. Plus we have to make up for all those frigid months of winter. Summer is when I plant herbs on my balcony and vegetables in my backyard garden.

If you don't have mezcal on hand, you can still make this spicy and delicious hot chocolate—try using aged rum or tequila.
