Love Andes mints as much as I do? These aren’t just a sweet treat for after meals, they’re also great confections for warm boozy hot chocolate drinks! We’ll mainly be using them as a topping, but they’re also perfect for snacking on alongside hot chocolate.

What Kind of Schnapps Should I Use?

For the uninitiated, Schnapps is a sort of grain liquor used for giving your favorite cocktails an alcohol and flavor infused kick. These spirits can be distilled with just about anything, mainly spices, fruits and syrups.

Our recipe calls for a typical peppermint schnapps which is easy enough to find at your local grocery store, or liquor vendor! This provides a lovely seasonal touch. And, it serves as a compliment to the mint flavored filling of an Andes mint.
