‘Winter Buzz’ Bailey’s Almande Hot Chocolate
Ever since I heard about Baileys Almande last year, I had been awaiting it’s release with coffee cup (or hot chocolate mug) in hand. Lucky for me, Santy Claus brought me a nice big bottle of it – what a treat on Christmas morning.
Finally! A boozy, creamy and sweet Baileys just like it’s dairy-based counterpart but made with almond milk so I can sip away with no tummy aches afterwards. Can I get a what whatttttt!
Of course it’s amazing in a strong cup of coffee but it’s also great in hot chocolate. I found a beautiful vegan hot chocolate mix made on Bowen Island from Cocoa West.
For this recipe you can use your favourite store-bought hot chocolate mix or else make your own. I have two dairy-free hot chocolate recipes on Koko’s Kitchen:

We have yet to try the Baileys Almande! I can just imagine how beautiful it tastes in this luscious hot chocolate! We are under another “snow attack” here in Edmonton 😉 and I can see myself sipping one of those today!
