FAQs
Can I use regular hot chocolate mix?
Yes, just make sure it’s fully cooled before blending it with the ice, or it won’t achieve the desired frosty texture.
What type of vodka works best?
Vanilla or whipped cream-flavored vodka works best for that extra dessert-like flavor, but plain vodka works too!
Can I make this non-alcoholic?
