Hot chocolate, but make it cold and boozy because it’s summer. Top it with fiery scorpion pepper infused chocolate. And a fun chocolaty meringue from @tidbitsfunbites. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you’ll love this cocktail. Cheers y’all!!

Editor's Note

A dessert-in-a-glass that flips the script on hot chocolate. Creamy, coffee-laced chocolate gets a surprising finish from a garnish of fiery scorpion pepper chocolate.
