How to Make Grand Marnier Hot Chocolate

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup half-and-half, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just simmering (do not boil).
  2. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together 4 ounces (115g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate and about 2/3 cup of the hot milk mixture until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually whisk the chocolate mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan. Simmer for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, then remove from heat and discard the orange zest.
  4. Stir in 1 ounce (30ml) Grand Marnier liqueur.
  5. Divide the hot chocolate among warmed mugs. Top with whipped cream and grated chocolate to taste.
