There are winter drinks, and then there are winter rituals. A spiced hot chocolate toddy firmly belongs to the latter. It’s the kind of cocktail that invites you to slow down and experience the season with all your senses while the flavours unfold like a warm holiday embrace.
Dark rum gently slips beneath the richness of molten chocolate, adding depth and a touch of warmth that lingers, without overpowering. Cinnamon brings a familiar, fragrant, and nostalgic Christmas comfort, while saffron-infused milk lends a rich texture to every sip.
Topped with soft, creamy foam and finished with a snowfall of chocolate shavings, this toddy softens the edges of a long winter day and turns an ordinary evening into something magical. It’s the drink you want in hand while the lights are twinkling, the music is mellow, and the night outside turns crisp and quiet. Whether you’re entertaining guests, curled up with a book, or simply seeking a moment of indulgence amid holiday chaos, this cocktail creation promises to wrap you in cosy cheer, one festive sip at a time.
