There's nothing all that hot about winter (mainly because these guys are wearing sweaters).

But Brooke Parkhurst and James Briscione, the chefs behind newlywed kitchen guide Just Married and Cooking, are changing that one sip at a time.


Whip up their adult spin on a cup of hot cocoa, which would only taste better if you were drinking it with one of the aforementioned shirtless guys.


Santa's Naughty Hot Chocolate


Serves 2

• 8 oz. almond milk

• 3 tbsp. cocoa powder

• 2 tsp. sugar

• 6 oz. hazelnut liqueur (recipe recommends Baileys hazelnut liqueur)

• 1 oz. chocolate vodka (recipe recommends Godiva chocolate-infused vodka)


Combine the almond milk, cocoa powder and sugar in a sauce pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and whisk to dissolve the cocoa. Stir in the liqueur and vodka, and then remove from the heat. Pour into two glasses or mugs, and garnish with marshmallow skewers.


Marshmallow Skewers


• 2 large marshmallows

• Pinch of ground cinnamon, cocoa powder and/or espresso powder

Cut the marshmallows crosswise into three equal-sized disks. Dust each piece with cinnamon, cocoa or espresso powder. Arrange the marshmallow pieces on a skewer, with the cut sides facing out. Garnish drinks with skewers and enjoy!
