How to Make Hot Chocolate With Rum

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons dark rum. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add 4 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher). Let stand for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt completely.
  3. Whisk the mixture vigorously until smooth and creamy. If needed, gently reheat for a few seconds over low heat to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Pour into warmed mugs and serve immediately. Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of elegance.
