Some recipes feel like pure comfort, and hot cocoa is one of them. Growing up, it was the drink we begged for after a cold day outside, the one that warmed our hands and made us slow down just a little.
This version brings that memory forward with a twist. Dipping the mugs in Sweet Drop and coconut makes each cup feel extra festive, like the kind of treat you’d save for the holidays. It’s simple, but it turns something ordinary into a moment worth savoring. Our dad loves coconut and all things sweet, so this is a drink we know he'll enjoy.
That’s what we love about this recipe. It’s not just cocoa, it’s the pause, the laughter at the table, the sticky smiles with whipped cream mustaches. It’s a reminder that every good story starts at the table, even if that table is covered in mugs of cocoa and crumbs of coconut.
