25 minutes

Cold 'hot chocolate' is a refreshing drink inspired by classic hot chocolate but served icy. Its origins are linked to American coffee shops that sought ways to adapt favorite winter drinks for hot summers. This cocktail combines the rich flavor of dark chocolate, the creamy texture of milk, and a light sweetness, creating a perfect balance of taste. Whipped with ice, it becomes thick and velvety, while topped with whipped cream and grated chocolate adds a festive touch. It's the ideal choice for those wanting to enjoy rich chocolate flavor in a cool form, whether on a summer day or simply to treat themselves to something special.
