Hot Chocolate Based Drinks

Last week, we talked about how there are lots of options for milk-based cocktails without dairy. Today let's talk about drinks you can make starting out with just some hot water and a hot cocoa packet! Some hot cocoas are so much better than others, and obviously the milk of your choice will make it richer and creamier, so it's totally up to you how you want to mix it.

Dairy Free Milk

If you're either in a pinch for milk or you can't have it and you're craving a nice Irish coffee or another creamy drink that calls for the beverage, take advantage of all of the milk substitutes available to you. These are fantastic for parties when you're not sure if a guest has an intolerance (or if you're sure one does!), too. Many different varieties of nut milks are available, but did you know that you can also make your own?

Sugar-free syrups

We all love a tasty drink, but some of us are cutting out the carbs and sugar for the New Year. To keep your drinking fun and tasty, there are lots of options and they just keep getting better. For example, did you know that many companies are now using natural stevia instead of traditional artificial sweeteners? Many say it's better for you so why not try it.
