“We start off with a Malteaser sugar rim, and use a hot chocolate mix that we made ourselves. Then we add banana extract, whipping cream, a banana chip, and a cherry that’s been soaking in bourbon. It’s great, but it’s the Bullett Bourbon we put into the hot chocolate that makes it the best.” Jax, Midtown Kitchen & Bar, 10th Street NW.
