Now a dash of Hellfire is about a quarter-full dropper or 15 drops from said dropper. I love Bittermans because each bottle comes with a dropper. In your desired serving mugs (we’re using smaller mugs because I like boozey drinks) use your jigger to measure out 1 oz of Kraken into each. You’re also going to want to reduce the heat a bit because you’re going to want to step away and prepare the alcohol part of this drink. Because then the milk will be all scalded and it will taste weird. Reduce the heat a bit because you want to make the hot chocolate hot, but you really don’t want to boil it. Bring it to a boil, then stir at a boil for about two minutes. Then chuck that mixture on the stove, medium heat. If you’re wondering what a dash of salt looks like in my recipes, this is that dash of salt.Īdd the 1/3 cup of water and stir until there are no more clumps. It’s called Favorite Hot Chocolate, but I’m about to make it more favorite by adding rum and hellfire.Ĭombine the cocoa, sugar and salt in a sauce pan.
If you’re keeping score, you’ll notice I got the Hot Chocolate recipe from the side of the Hershey’s Cocoa box. + 1 dash Bitterman’s Hellfire bitters (that’s Habanero Shrub, y’all) + 1 oz dark spiced rum per person drinking (again, using The Kraken because it is a perfect spiced rum)
Lick the sprongy things on the mixer and move onto the drink part of The Warmest Drink. Cover your brand new Vanilla-Rum Whipped Cream and stick it in the fridge. Grab an electric mixer unless you want your arm to turn into a spaghetti noodle and whip the mixture until peaks form. I overspilled a little, which was a really solid decision. And do be aware – you don’t have to be one hundred percent exact on the rum. In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine the cream, sugar, vanilla and rum. + 1 teaspoon dark spiced rum (I’m using The Kraken) Ingredients for Mom’s Whipped Cream, Vanilla-Rum Style: Just to warn you, this whipped cream is legitimately my greatest accomplishment to date. It’s an adaption of Mom’s Whipped Cream ( originally posted here).
The Warmest Drink has two components – the drink itself, and a Vanilla-Rum whipped cream. I’m not going to tell you exactly why – that’s one of my discussion questions for a month from now – but I am going to give you the recipe so you can enjoy sipping on this while metaphorically rolling around in this wonderful art. So I invented a drink to reflect my experience reading this book. Sipping cocktails and reading are two of my favorite things, and I love doing them together. Liquor In The Book Club: The Warmest Drink BUT! Because it’s a graphic novel, there’s twice the content to discuss in December: we need to talk story and art.Īnd! Because I’m the one doing the book club and I also write one of the liquor-related columns, I have a bit of an added element. Because it’s a graphic novel, actually getting through it doesn’t take a ton of time. So here’s the deal with the Autostraddle Book Club: let’s all take one month to buy the book and read it. A coming of age story, a love story and – well – a couple other stories mixed in there, too. This book chronicles the life of Clementine, an adolescent with a lot of sexuality questions, as she meets Emma, a bright blue-haired queer woman who answers some of those questions and brings up even more. But it’s back as Blue is the Warmest Color after the film adaption (winner of the Cannes Palme d’Or and reviewed here on Autostraddle) used that title. Its title, Le bleu est une couleur chaude, was re-worked in English translation to Blue Angel. We’re reading Blue Is The Warmest Color.īlue Is the Warmest Color, by Julie Maroh, was originally conceived when Maroh was 15 (according to this author talk right here) and published en français in March 2010. “How about,” I said, “I make this here graphic novel a book club.” Because obviously, all of y’all really want to read this. Originally I was going to write a review for Blue Is The Warmest Color, but after the really intense response to our giveaway post I emailed Laneia.
