Imagine the nostalgic delight of a classic s’more, reimagined as a frosty, boozy concoction perfect for those sun-drenched days. Our Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate takes all your favorite s’mores ingredients – gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate, and a hint of graham cracker essence – and blends them into an irresistible, adult-friendly frozen treat. With just a splash of spirits, this decadent drink transforms a campfire classic into the ultimate summer cocktail, ready to whisk you away to a state of pure relaxation.

As soon as the first whispers of warm weather grace the air, a familiar ritual begins in my kitchen. My trusty blender, usually relegated to a shadowy, cavernous space beneath the cabinet, is ceremoniously retrieved. It earns its prominent spot on the counter, poised and ready for what I affectionately call “frozen cocktail season.” There’s something undeniably invigorating about the arrival of summer, and with it, the anticipation of frosty, blended drinks that promise to cool you down and lift your spirits. This year, my go-to is undeniably this spectacular Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate. With the blender at the ready and the icemaker churning at full capacity, this delightful beverage is always just moments away, whenever the mood strikes for a sweet, refreshing escape.

Let me assure you, when I describe this frozen s’mores cocktail, I’m not exaggerating its incredible flavor profile. It genuinely tastes as though you’re biting into a perfectly toasted, gooey, chocolate-rich s’more, but in a gloriously cold and frosty liquid form. Every sip is an explosion of those beloved campfire flavors – the smoky sweetness of toasted marshmallows, the deep cocoa notes, and a hint of that signature graham cracker crunch (courtesy of our special garnish, which we’ll get to!). But the absolute best part, of course, is the adult twist: it’s perfectly spiked with booze. To achieve this exquisite balance, I’ve chosen a harmonious combination of smooth vanilla vodka and luxurious crème de cocoa. These spirits don’t just add a kick; they meticulously enhance and deepen the authentic flavors of the toasted marshmallows and rich chocolate, creating a symphony of taste that is both familiar and excitingly new. The result is a drink that is incredibly rich, wonderfully creamy, and undeniably delicious – a true dessert cocktail masterpiece. I have an unwavering feeling that this Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate will quickly become your absolute favorite and most requested summer cocktail recipe!

While this frozen s’mores hot chocolate offers all the s’mores flavor in a sip-able format, you certainly don’t have to miss out on that iconic crunchy texture. That’s where a fantastic garnish comes into play. With new Shake & Spoon™ from Diamond, adding that perfect nutty accent for a festive and delicious rim is incredibly easy. For this recipe, I highly recommend grabbing a handful of finely chopped pecans and lightly toasting them. Toasting brings out their natural sweetness and deepens their nutty aroma, mimicking the delightful crunch you’d expect from a s’more’s graham cracker base. Preparing the rim of your serving glass is effortless: simply dip the rim in a shallow plate of water, then immediately into the toasted pecans, rotating the glass to ensure an even, generous coating. The convenience of Diamond’s packaging makes this step almost too easy not to include, transforming your Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate into a complete sensory experience that’s both visually appealing and texturally satisfying. It’s the perfect way to elevate this summer treat and impress your guests with minimal effort.

Beyond the delightful act of toasting marshmallows – which itself can be a fun part of the summer experience – this Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate requires surprisingly little effort. Toasting marshmallows offers a few convenient methods: you can embrace the traditional route over the open flames of a summer bonfire, utilize the consistent heat of a grill, or even achieve perfect golden-brown tops under the broiler in your oven. If using the broiler, remember to keep a very close eye on them, as they can toast quickly! Once your marshmallows are perfectly toasted and cooled, the rest of the recipe is truly a “dump and blend” affair. You simply add all the main liquid and ice ingredients, along with your cooled toasted marshmallows, into your blender. A few pulses, and then a steady blend until the mixture is luxuriously smooth and frothy, is all it takes. There’s no complex mixing, no intricate layering – just pure, blended bliss. Finally, transfer this smooth, rich mixture to your beautifully pecan-rimmed mason jars. Top each generous serving with a cloud of mini marshmallows, perhaps a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup, and pop in a colorful straw. Then, sit back, relax, and sip until your heart is utterly content. This is what summer is all about, friends! Simple joys, delicious flavors, and moments of pure, unadulterated enjoyment. Dive in and savor every frosty, boozy sip!

This Boozy Frozen S’mores Hot Chocolate isn’t just a drink; it’s a celebration of summer. It’s the perfect companion for backyard BBQs, poolside lounging, or a cozy evening under the stars. The blend of classic campfire nostalgia with a refreshing, icy kick makes it uniquely appealing. Each ingredient plays a crucial role: the milk and heavy cream create a wonderfully creamy base, the chocolate syrup and hot cocoa mix deliver that rich, decadent chocolate flavor, and the ice ensures a perfectly frozen consistency. The vanilla vodka adds a subtle sweetness and warmth, while the crème de cocoa layers in an extra dimension of chocolate richness that truly elevates the s’mores experience. Don’t hesitate to experiment with the level of toastiness for your marshmallows – a deeper char can add a wonderfully smoky note, while a lighter golden hue keeps things sweeter. No matter how you toast them, the key is to allow them to cool completely before blending to ensure your drink remains cold and thick. Get ready to impress your friends and treat yourself to the ultimate adult summer dessert in a glass. Enjoy every moment and every sip!
