Chocolate Holiday Cocktails

My friend Heather recently linked to 10 Merry Christmas Cocktails on her own weblog and I thought a few of them sounded particularly yummy!

Check out Christmas Cookie Cocktail (chocolate sauce), Red Hot Santa Tini (cocoa powder and Godiva chocolate liqueur), and Mistletoe and Holly Cocktail (stunning! Uses white creme de cacao).

I don’t have the ingredients for any of these on-hand, but that Christmas Cookie Cocktail has me intrigued!

Chocolate Sauce

admin — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 19:32:48 +0000

Sauce that runs like a river of chocolate is one of the true pleasures in life. I’ve got nothing against the regular grocery store sauces, they’ll do in a pinch, but homemade chocolate sauce tastes so much more sinful. In this case sinful is good. While chocolate sauce is especially good over ice cream, it is also yummy slathered on top of cake, and if you pour it over fruit it is just like health food! Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating chocolate sauce au natural. No, I don’t mean while naked, I mean just straight up with a spoon.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1-2/3 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups water
1 tsp vanilla

Combine cocoa powder, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
