El Dorado Hot Chocolate image

This drink captures the flavors of Mexican-style hot chocolate; the Goldschlager adds a subtly cinnamony undertone and the burnt caramel adds a sweet richness not unlike piloncillo. Cheers --V

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water, plus
2 tablespoons water
8 ounces finely chopped milk chocolate or 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
6 cups milk
6 ounces cinnamon schnapps, see Cook's note (recommended Goldschlager)
3 ounces golden rum

Steps:

  • Stir the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the water together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Uncover and continue to cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the sugar is a dark golden caramel, 7 to 10 minutes. (It should smell slightly burnt.).
  • Pull pan from the heat and carefully pour the 1/4 cup water into the caramel. Take care; it may spatter a lot. Whisk until smooth and allow to cool. (The burnt caramel can be held for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.)
  • When ready to serve: Put 3 tablespoons of the burnt caramel into 4 mugs or cups and top evenly with the chopped chocolate. Bring the milk to a simmer in a medium pan over medium heat. Pull pan from the heat and add the Goldschlager and rum; pour over the chocolate. Serve El Dorado Hot Chocolates with a spoon to stir the layers together.
  • Cook's Note: Goldschlager is a cinnamon flavored liqueur with small flecks of edible gold.
