5 O’Clock Fridays: Spiked Mexican Hot Chocolate in a Marshmallow Shot Glass

Cuffing season is upon us, which means it’s time to get cozy with a significant other. No one’s around to keep me warm and I’m so over itchy winter sweaters, so it’s time to channel my inner feminist, get naked, and take things into my own hands. I got spicy all by myself and mixed up a mad easy Mexican hot chocolate with tequila, which I threw back out of a marshmallow shot glass. Yes. Went there. Got warm. Felt nice. Mission accomplished. So much better than a boyfriend, amirite?
