Amarula Hot Chocolate

THETRAVELBITE.COM

I was first introduced to this Amarula drink during a trip to South Africa. A shot of Amarula cream in hot chocolate was something new and memorable.

Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa. It is similar to something like an Irish Cream, but is made with the fruit of the marula tree.

What’s it taste like?  Well, it’s creamy like Bailey’s, but a little lighter and with a slight citrus flavor. It tastes great on the rocks, or as an added flavor in hot chocolate or coffee.

You can find it at most liquor stores in the States.  Just look for the bottle with an elephant on it.

Gather the ingredients: – 1 packet of hot chocolate mix – 1 tsp granular sugar – 1/2 cup hot water – 1/4 cup Amarula Liqueur

Pour a packet of hot chocolate mix into your favorite mug and stir in the hot water until the mix is dissolved.

Next, pour a shot or two (roughly 1/8 to 1/4 cup) of Amarula liqueur into the hot chocolate. Stir your drink with a spoon.

Enjoy it alone or top with marshmallows for fun. It's perfect for a cozy night at home!
