How To Make Boozy Christmas Coffee
Step 1. I love starting with the fun part – creating that gorgeous chocolate rim! I melt the chocolate chips in a shallow dish by microwaving for 15 seconds, giving it a good stir, then microwaving for another 10 seconds until perfectly smooth. Then I dip the rim of my coffee mug right into that melted chocolate and shake those festive sprinkles all around the rim. I always pop it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so the chocolate can solidify and those sprinkles stick perfectly – trust me, this step makes all the difference!
Step 2. Now for the coffee magic! I add my freshly brewed coffee to the prepared mug first, then pour in the half and half for that creamy richness. Next comes the fun part – I add the peppermint schnapps and almondmilk liqueur, giving everything a gentle stir to combine. The aroma at this point is absolutely incredible – you can already smell the holiday spirit!
Step 3. Time to make it extra special! I generously top the coffee with fluffy whipped cream – don’t be shy here, the more the better! Then I add another sprinkle of those colorful Christmas sprinkles on top of the whipped cream. It’s like decorating a tiny Christmas tree, and it makes me smile every time.
Step 4. The final touch that takes this over the top – I finish with delicate Andes Mint shavings scattered over the whipped cream. I like to use a sharp knife to create thin shavings, and they add the perfect minty chocolate flavor that ties everything together beautifully. This is the moment when your boozy Christmas coffee transforms into pure holiday magic!
