Ingredients

1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups white milk skim or 2%
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons Don Q Gran Añejo Rum
Mini marshmallows chocolate syrup, whipped cream and sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a saucepan combine the white chocolate chips and the heavy cream over medium-high heat stirring constantly until the white chips are melted.
Add the milk and the vanilla extract. Stir until combined and warm.
Add the rum right before serving.
Top off mugs with mini marshmallows, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and sprinkles.

Notes

Watch the Heat: When melting the white chocolate chips and heavy cream, be sure to keep an eye on the heat. White chocolate can scorch easily, so stir constantly and adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Add Rum Just Before Serving: To preserve the flavor of the rum and prevent it from evaporating, add it to the hot cocoa right before serving. This ensures that the rum's distinct taste remains prominent and doesn't dissipate during the cooking process.
Get Creative with Garnishes: While optional, garnishes like mini marshmallows, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles can elevate the presentation and flavor of the hot cocoa. Feel free to experiment with different toppings to suit your taste preferences and make your drink even more indulgent.
