How to Spike Your Hot Chocolate Without Anyone Noticing

Hot chocolate is the best winter drink. Actually, let me correct that statement. It is the best non-caffeinated drink in the winter. I specifically didn’t state non-alcoholic, because spiking your hot chocolate is perhaps the most college thing to do in the winter.

Hot chocolate transcends national borders and is part of most people’s childhood memories. And, as you get older you have more and more reasons to spike your hot chocolate. For example, Election Day 2016 or family gatherings. I personally need at least 3 beers to get through a few hours of holiday festivities with my family.

Now, I personally don’t see the appeal of frozen hot chocolate or the like. After all, it’s supposed to be hot. It’s even in the name.
