Description

The Jalisco Hot Chocolate is a modern cocktail that was created by the editors of PUNCH in New York City, New York and was first published in their book Winter Drinks: 70 Essential Cold-Weather Cocktails. The recipe is essentially just a spiked version of the sweet and spicy Mexican hot chocolate that adds cinnamon and hot pepper to hot cocoa mix, but this boozy version also adds a hit of blanco tequila for agave flavor.
