Spiked Hot Chocolate

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup whole milk (or half milk / half cream for extra richness)

  • 1 oz dark rum or bourbon (warmth + depth)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or marshmallows for garnish

  2. Melt in chocolate: Stir in chopped chocolate (or cocoa + sugar) until smooth and velvety.

  3. Add flavor: Stir in vanilla and a tiny pinch of salt.

  4. Spike it: Remove from heat, then add Baileys and rum (or bourbon). Stir gently.

“I can’t explain what I mean. And even if I could, I’m not sure I’d feel like it.”

There’s a special kind of cool that comes with having your own enamel camping mug. With its classic design and durable finish, it feels like a throwback to simpler times—rugged, timeless, and ready for anything. Whether it's clipped to your pack or warming your hands with morning coffee, an enamel mug isn’t just gear, it’s part of your story. Chips and scratches only add character, turning it into a personal artifact of every trail walked, fire lit, and sunrise watched. It’s equal parts utility and nostalgia—always dependable, always stylish.
