Every holiday season I look forward to buying those Chocolate Oranges that they sell wrapped in foil. You crach them on the table and they break into segments. I think chocolate and orange is one of my favorite flavor profiles.
So I decided to ask Frank to jazz up my hot chocolate with a splash of Grand Marnier last night.
Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting our Sunday Funday Blogging group this week and asked us to share Hot Drinks. I was originally going to make a large batch of Vin Brule to serve at one of the numerous holiday parties I had planned. But then I got smashed by a truck and spent all my entertainment time in the hospital.
Three weeks to the day that I got hit, I was released from the hospital. Yesterday was my second day home and when Frank asked if he could get me anything I asked for some Orange Hot Chocolate. He was happy to comply and even took over all the taking of photos so that I could join in today's event.
Let's take a look at what the others are serving up.........
- Chocolate de Agua from Christmas Tree Lane
- Fernet Hot Toddy from Amy's Cooking Adventures
- German Kinderpunsch from Pandemonium Noshery
- Gløgg (Danish Mulled Wine) from Culinary Cam
- Keto Bullet Coffee from Sneha's Recipe
- Orange Hot Chocolate from A Day in the Life on the Farm
- White Mocha from Palatable Pastime
