Red wine hot chocolate



Red wine hot chocolate will be your favorite winter drink. We already knew that dark chocolate and red wine went well together. But that there could be a hot chocolate with red wine, we dared not imagine except in our forbidden dreams. Red Wine Hot Chocolate was the trend of winter 2016/2017 in the United States. Before branding it as "Americanized" it is worth taking a look at the various recipes that can be found on the Internet - now dozens of versions - and give a chance to a transgressive, high-calorie and incorrect recipe, but certainly delicious. 

The quality of the chocolate you choose is obviously fundamental: that it is dark, as unsweetened as possible. No less secondary is the choice of wine. Obviously, if you have a Barolo or Chianti of great value, you will not "waste" it for your Red Wine Hot Chocolate, but not all types of red are good for the drink: a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is highly recommended, but a Malbec or a Shiraz will also be appropriate. This easy recipe uses a Merlot: As you can see, the process is extremely simple: just pour the ingredients into a saucepan, sweeten to taste, add the milk of your choice and boil. And what better finish than whipped cream? Take a cue from this recipe:

Last two tricks recommended by experts? Use mulled wine for a touch of spice, and add condensed milk - or even cream - for an even more delicious effect. Winter is still long. The mulled wine is good, warm, aromatic, spicy and nice and strong when it is very low in the air. But after so many winters, the classic mulled wine recipe might get boring. 

The Honey Pomegrante Mulle Wine, the one with pomegranate juice, with cabernet and 60 ml of honey, is delicious.

The "white" version of mulled wine, on the other hand, looks perfect for desserts thanks to lemon and vanilla.

For chocolate diehards, there is also Mulled Wine Hot Chocolate made from a good bottle of fruity wine and 500 g of 67% dark chocolate.
