Yes, I am doing this. Chocolate, coffee and wine. It’s like the dream trio. A red wine latte.

A WINE LATTE!

And it’s in a warm and comforting mug of love.

And.

This is really a cabernet CHOCOLATE latte. We’re doing it.

Originally I was going to make plain red wine lattes but the combo of a wine taste plus coffee only seemed very off-putting. You know? Like maybe it would taste like one giant hangover.

With the thought of chocolate though? Chocolate and wine? Chocolate and coffee?

It brought everything together perfectly. The flavor is incredible here and I can’t get enough.

First up.

This starts with red wine syrup! Grab a red wine you reeeeeally like and use a bit of it to make this syrup. It doesn’t have to be a Cab. It can be a Pinot Noir, which is my red of choice. But this is the internet in 2018 and cabernet latte sounds a lot better than pinot noir latte and since I write a blog on said internet and it seems like my livelihood depends on it… cabernet latte it is.

Other things that this syrup can be used for? Ummm… ice cream. Lots of it. Cocktails! Champagne cocktails too.

Eating by the spoon? I think it’s appropriate.

Next comes chocolate syrup. And then the hot espresso. I just use my Nespresso machine! That’s how I get steamed milk too.

Chopped chocolate tops it all off.

And if you’re wondering… cute little heart sprinkles are a must. Let’s drink nothing else.
