Holiday shopping done? Are you sure? Because there’s nothing worse than forgetting to get a holiday gift for someone special. (Actually, here’s one thing that might be worse: You could receive a gift from someone from whom you weren’t expecting a gift, and then wish you had gotten them something too.)
There’s always that temporary moment of panic: “Oh no! I don’t want to hit the mall at the last minute. Oh no! I just want to relax and enjoy the holidays!” Girl, I hear you.
That’s why there’s this easy, homemade Mexican Hot Cocoa Mix to set you straight. Not only is hot chocolate an amazing wintertime treat, but it also makes a stupendous gift. And the best gifts are the homemade ones, right?
Make a big batch and keep a few jars on hand for whoever. (Maybe that neighbor who baked you a bazillion surprise holiday cookies? Maybe your cousin’s girlfriend who you just found out is coming to Christmas? Or perhaps your grandma who has everything?)

Don’t like it spicy? Nix the cayenne, maybe even the cinnamon and you’ve got a basic cocoa mix anyone would love.
Want a buzz? Stir in 1 ounce of liqueur, like vodka, coffee liqueur or cinnamon whiskey. And stop by Feast + West for more cocktail inspiration!
