Name: Adam’s Big Kid Hot Chocolate
Ingredients: Adam’s Big Kid Hot Chocolate; As a disclaimer, I should mention that, like many of the better things in life, the Big Kid Hot Chocolate recipe is pretty simple (despite Phoebe’s latent desire to somehow make it into bruschetta or a crostini). But this recipe also involves a lot of gut feeling and improvisation, so if you’re full; 1 Full-Sized Nesquik hot chocolate mix carton (or another brand…basically just a poopload of hot chocolate); 1 Handle of Vodka (you’re not going to use the whole thing, but I only measure vodka in handles and you can probably figure out something to do with what’s left over); 1 bottle of Bailey’s

Why it works: Chocolate and vodka work together. They rank in the top 25% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 70 recipes. Both carry ethanol, which smells alcoholic, ethereal. The science ↓
