Rayuela's Junior Merino prepares vodka-infused haute hot chocolate. This adult take on the kid-fave beverage “will warm you up and make you feel cozy in seconds,” says Merino, who counts chocolate as a prized ingredient. The secret, he says, is using high-quality chocolate bars, not powder, and letting your inventiveness run wild. While this recipe calls for vodka, it’s equally delectable when prepared with aged tequila. “The tequila is so warming on its own,” Merino says, “and since chocolate is native to Mexico, it goes well with the liquor.”
