Wouldn’t you love to sip on a warm, chocolatey Spiked Mocha Cocktail when you are relaxing on a cool evening? Don’t worry about the caffeine before bed because all the coffee flavor in this tasty dessert cocktail comes from coffee liqueur. I will pass on some advice about this drink that no one but me would probably ever need: Don’t make this at 3:00 in the afternoon so you can take pictures in daylight, then put it in your refrigerator for later because you have to be a responsible adult, then forget about it until the next day, and then try to reheat it in the microwave.

This is not a make-ahead recipe, folks. I tried out this scenario, and some horrible separating and clumping things happened that you want no part of. Just make it and drink it right away, m’kay? Cheers!

Ooohhh I love this, Andi! You can’t beat a spiked hot beverage! Pinned!

Thank you, Julie!

Well, it was worth a shot. ;) Next time, you should just go ahead and drink it at 3:00 in the afternoon. I won’t tell! Sounds delicious Andi. :)

Hi, Lisa! I probably would have if I didn’t have to pick up my son at 3:45! That seemed like it would have been in poor taste ;)

looks good–I’m in. And thanks for the warning on the clumping–sounds bad all around. Will report back per usual. p.s. thumbs on on the mini mallows :-)

Hi, Liz! I’m glad you like this one. Are you going to use whipped cream vodka in yours??
