A cozy, spirited twist on classic hot chocolate — rich, warming, and perfectly balanced with sweet caramel and the bold botanicals of Mt Wildcat Old-Style Juniper Liqueur. This is not your average mug of cocoa — it’s an indulgent adult treat with salty-sweet depth and enough juniper kick to make you remember exactly who brought the drinks.
