"I've made several types of frozen hot chocolate in my time, but this alcoholic version has become a favorite, especially among mint chocolate lovers," shares Jessica Merchant. "I'm all for it, too, especially around the holidays. But if you don't like the combination of chocolate and mint, you can use another alcoholic drink instead of mint schnapps. How about coffee liqueur? You might even enjoy bourbon or spiced rum."
