Love this recipe? Share it!

A hot chocolate that has sugar, spice, and BOOZE! This white hot chocolate gingerbread cocktail is a cozy blend of creamy white hot chocolate and spicy gingerbread.

Topped with loads of toasted marshmallows and gingerbread men of course! Bourbon is to blame for the addicting nature of this drink. So cozy up and let's make this cocktail!

What's In White Hot Chocolate

While you can definitely make white hot chocolate using the powder, why not make it as clean as you can and do it yourself at home? White hot chocolate powder has who-knows-what in it...

Making white hot chocolate at home is simple with white chocolate and steaming hot half and half or milk! (Try @addjoi cashew base for a dairy free version!)

This version is also going to have a couple pumps of gingerbread coffee syrup! That will give it the warm and toasty taste of gingerbread with the fewest ingredients.

Simple Homemade Hot Chocolate

The simplest way to make this hot chocolate is to melt down your chocolate chips (or white chocolate baking bar!) by pouring steaming milk over them. Whisk together until thick and creamy.

You can continue to thin out the chocolate by adding more milk to your desired consistency. It's really that easy! We'll be adding in some bourbon as well to this and that's going to help tone down the sweetness of the drink.

I love adding tons of mini marshmallows and toasting them with a torch to really add something special to the drink!

What Gingerbread Syrup is Best?

I've been using the Torani coffee syrups and I really love them! The gingerbread one has a very ginger-y flavor to it which makes this drink amazing!
