There are many ways to spike hot chocolate, but this is one of our favorites. Inspired by the French tradition of sipping green chartreuse-laden hot chocolate after a day on the Alpine slopes, it includes both the herbaceous liqueur and a hit of peppermint schnapps for a deliciously minty kick. After a day of skiing (or working, or shoveling snow, or doing pretty much anything), you’ll want nothing more than a mugful of this indulgent drink.
