Warm your glass or mug beforehand to keep your drink hot longer.
FAQs – Sheridan’s Hot Chocolate
Can I make this non-alcoholic?

Can I make this in advance?
It’s best served fresh, but you can prepare the chocolate base ahead of time and reheat gently before adding Sheridan’s.
What’s the best topping?
Whipped cream and chocolate shavings are classic, but mini marshmallows or a drizzle of caramel work beautifully too.
Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes — oat or almond milk work well for a dairy-free version.
