Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe

Calling all Chocolate and Wine lover for our MUST HAVE Christmassy drink ‘ Easy Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe ‘ which I’m calling a warm, comforting hug in a mug kind of drink.

bBt the drink that’ll surprise you and is quite a refreshing change is this Red Wine Hot Chocolate.

Now, I do love Hot Chocolate and must have tried dozens of different options but this ‘ Easy Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe ‘ is definitely my this year favorite.

Also, I would say, a good option to use all that leftover red wine after your parties.

And, the best part, for this drink firstly, you don’t need tons of ingredients and secondly, you just need a small amount of wine (you could actually use those mini wine bottles).

They end up being less expensive than opening that huge bottle of vodka/rum or whiskey to make other hot chocolates.

Since I’m making this for Christmas, I did add some crushed candy cane along on top but you can totally skip this if need be.

The other hot chocolate favorite companion is marshmallow and I somehow find it overly sweet with this wine + chocolate combination, but if you like it that way, go for it!

Also, I’m using ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ for my Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe but you can use any red wine that you like.

The drink is really simple to make but is packed with so much flavor and literally gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling….

I could even serve it as a winter date night special drink too 🙂

So, don’t wait long, gather the ingredients, get all your favorite people around.

And enjoy the holidays with love, laughter and tons of food and this Red Wine Hot Chocolate Recipe.
