Two beverages that will be sure to warm you up as soon as they hit your lips are hot chocolate and red wine. While these two drinks share the same warming quality, they come at it from opposite angles. A sip of hot chocolate can transport you back to the snowy winter days of your youth, while red wine relaxes you the way a grown adult deserves. But finally, thanks to Kylie Mitchell, we no longer have to choose between childhood nostalgia and the great taste of adulthood.
Combining two ingredients that create instantaneous happiness, Red wine hot chocolate looks set to become the go-to tipple this winter. If, like us, you are wondering how you have made it through so many winters without trying it, don’t worry! as we here at Beauty Expert have got an easy three step recipe to make sure this becomes your new favourite tipple.

In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and milk. Place over a medium heat and whisk constantly until the chocolate has melted completely and you are left with a thick, creamy chocolate milk.
Step Two
Pour in the red wine and heat the mixture until piping hot (don’t let the mixture boil as this will impair the flavour of the drink).
