Tis the Season for Warming Winter Drinks<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right about now, we’re turning to hot apple cider, boozy egg nog, and giant mugs of coffee or cocoa to keep warm. Blue Diamond is making sure no one is left out in the cold with Almond Breeze Mexican Hot Chocolate<\/a>, now hitting the refrigerated section in your local grocer ($3.49 suggested retail price).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Almond<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Often, Mexican hot chocolate products aim to mimic Nestle’s Abuelita chocolate with a little bit of a cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have to say, Almond Breeze Mexican Hot Chocolate totally exceeded expectations with rich, chocolaty flavor, and a cayenne kick. <\/strong>(The ingredient list says red pepper, I’m assuming it’s cayenne). Along with cinnamon and allspice, it rounds out the drink without building up too much as you go. And of course, since it’s made with almonds, it’s dairy- and soy-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would I buy it again? Definitely.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As non-alcoholic offerings become more popular at holiday parties, this Mexican Hot Chocolate is a great option. The carton even includes instructions for warming it in a slow cooker a la your favorite cider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a beverage isn’t your only option. It would also make a tasty Mexican chocolate pudding<\/a>, too. Use cornstarch as your thickener if you need to keep it vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond Breeze Mexican Hot Chocolate is available now through January. Use Blue Diamond’s product locator<\/a> to find a store near you. In the Seattle area, I recently spotted it at New Seasons Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If chocolate isn’t your thing, Almond Breeze also has an almond milk horchata<\/a> (it’s super tasty over ice with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon) and an almond-based Nog<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to Blue Diamond’s PR folks for sending samples our way. <\/p>
