Instructions

Immerse yourself in the warming embrace of the Aztec Spice Whisper, a cocktail that ingeniously blends the comforting flavors of traditional Mexican hot chocolate with the sultry touch of aged tequila, and a whisper of smoky heat. This innovative concoction marries the rich, creamy texture of chocolate with the complex notes of quality spirits and spices, delivering an experience that's both deeply familiar and excitingly novel. **Glass:** Heat-resistant Irish Coffee Mug **Ingredients:** - 1 1/2 oz Añejo Tequila - 3/4 oz Dark Crème de Cacao - 6 oz Whole Milk - 2 tbsp Authentic Mexican Chocolate, grated or in tablet form - 1 pinch of Ground Cinnamon, plus extra for garnish - 1 pinch of Cayenne Pepper (adjust to taste) - 1 Whole Dried Chile de Árbol (for garnish) - Freshly Whipped Cream (for garnish) - 1 Cinnamon Stick (for garnish) **Instructions:** 1. Begin by gently heating the whole milk in a saucepan, bringing it to a slight simmer—be careful not to boil. 2. Add the grated Mexican chocolate or crumbled chocolate tablet to the milk while whisking continuously, until fully melted and combined. 3. Stir in the ground cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper, letting the spices infuse with the warm milk. 4. Once the milk and chocolate mixture is smooth and hot, remove from heat. 5. In your Irish Coffee mug, combine the Añejo Tequila with the Dark Crème de Cacao, creating a rich and aromatic base. 6. Slowly pour the spiced chocolate milk over the spirits, stirring gently to marry the flavors. 7. Top the drink with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, offering luxury and balance to the heat. 8. Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon, a cinnamon stick, and a whole dried Chile de Árbol, elegantly perched atop the cream. 9. Serve immediately, urging your guests to stir their drink with the cinnamon stick to evolve the flavors as the temperature gently falls. The Aztec Spice Whisper presents an unforgettable journey through the essence of Mexico, wrapped in a velvety smooth cocktail that warms the soul and tingles the palate. Enjoy responsibly and let each sip tell a story of ancient flavors and modern craft.
