When I saw this recipe I almost didn’t try it.  The original title, ” Alcoholic Hot Chocolate”, sounded like hot chocolate for people with a drinking problem?  Hot chocolate for alcoholics! I’m sure I’m the only one that read the title that way but, read it that way, I did.  I’m so glad I tried this. It was so deeelicious I was really blown away by this.  The combo of honey, cinnamon, and the rum created a lot of subtle nuances that I didn’t expect.  I was surprised. I wanted to change the name still, so I did. Enjoy!

I have almost the exact same thing, but I used coconut rum for just one little extra bit of flavor…

One thing I learned from a recent trip to Vermont without water. Was that sometimes you need to add alcohol to hot chocolate. Just to get through a rough time. Rum would be delicious in it! Everclear also does the trick.
