It's December 1st.
We all know what that means: Christmas music is constantly played in every business establishment that plays a radio during operating hours, the need to finish the Christmas shopping for everyone on your list, the decorating to be done to make it feel a little more like the holidays even if you live away from the snow-covered mountains and brightly colored trees, and the baking and cooking that comes with the festivities.
One of the staples of this time of year as the cold, brisk air hits your face and causes your windshield to freeze over are wonderful, hot beverages. And we aren't talking about coffee. Sure, there are those seasonal Starbucks coffee drinks for the holidays: pumpkin spice lattes, peppermint mochas, etc. There are also the non-coffee drinks: hot chocolates and apple ciders.
And then there is something better... Drinking Chocolate. This is a richer, more indulgent beverage. And there are some wonderful places to get them.
Today's Feature: Christopher Elbow in San Francisco, California.
Located in the Hayes Valley, this artisan chocolate shop opened in 2008. They have a wide variety of actual chocolates, candies, and gift assortments. And they also have an extensive list of exquisite drinking chocolates. And while they can be quite expensive for the amount that you get, they are most certainly worth checking out. And they are topped with a spoonful of fresh, housemade whipped cream.
My personal recommendation: Dark Chocolate Raspberry
Happy Chocolate Drinking!
