Why is this recipe great? What\u2019s its backstory? <\/h5>\n

Hot chocolate, whipped cream, booze\u2026what\u2019s not to like? We live within a 10-minute walk of the Tower of London. We were part of the army of volunteers who planted ceramic poppies in the moat of the Tower commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of World War I in 2014. We returned as volunteers to help with the installation and performance of the field of flames commemorating the end of that War in 2018. So when this recipe appeared in a Historic Royal Palaces email, I knew it was a keeper. Only wish it was on hand any of the nights we were in the moat!<\/span>
