When it gets just a little too cold outside, a good cup of hot chocolate will warm you, body and soul.
Adult Hot Chocolate for One (from Emeril)
- 1 cups whole milk
- 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
- 1/2 star anise
- Pinch of lime zest
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of grated nutmeg
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp bourbon
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the chocolate, bourbon and cream. Heat over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the chocolate to the pan and continue to cook over low heat, whisking until all of the chocolate has melted. Add bourbon and stir to combine.

Hic…..
I once had a patient say his emergency was “hiccups x 8 days”. I bet this drink would cure that.
It pays to be an adult sometimes. Your adult hot chocolate being one of the reasons…yum.
Yes it does! I also like having my own money and the ability to go anywhere I want and time I want. But I loathe bills! And a work schedule! Sigh… I need another hot chocolate.
That sounds delicious! Gimme.
Thanks! It looks like you had a good year. When I visit Chicago, I intend to try some of those highly recommended bloody marys on your site.
We did. Thank you! And cheers to 2013! Make sure your next visit is a long one. There’s much work to be done 🙂
We’re either gonna have to double this baby or well I don’t think Katherine will give me another option. Looks fantastic.
Thanks! It was very nice. I love the anise flavor with the chocolate.
Is it too early to have one of these when I come in from the milking? Definitely tonight though! c
I wonder how different it would be with fresh milk. I imagine it would be divine!
First happy 2013, this bourbon hot chocolate looks great, I must have one 🙂
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it!
Now you’re talking! Let’s see if the “bacon salt” folks are bourbon lovers. 😉
I bet they are!
