Nothing will get you more in the festive spirit than warming up with a rich, peppermint-infused hot chocolate. A splash of whiskey sets this cocktail apart from your childhood hot chocolates, and depending on your preference, you can use milk or dark chocolate to taste, if it has at least 50% cocoa solids to prevent it from becoming too sweet.
