A Flight of Hot Chocolate for cards night

Five hot chocolate recipes, each a slight variation on the same idea. Line them up in small mugs, let people try them between hands. Twenty minutes of tasting that people mention for months.

What's inside:

• The Plain One (the baseline)
• The Dark and Bitter (for people who claim they don't like sweet)
• The Spiced (cinnamon, a whisper of cayenne)
• The Malt (nostalgic in a way that's hard to place)
• The Spiked (for later, when no one's driving)

No powder. No shortcuts. Just milk and chocolate and a little attention.

Three pages. No filler.
