1
Warm the milk
Pour 2 cups whole milk into a small saucepan. Warm over low-medium heat until steam rises and small bubbles form around the edges, about 4–6 minutes. Do not boil — the milk should be hot but not frothing over.
2
Stir frequently while warming to prevent a skin from forming and to avoid scorching on the bottom.

3
When the milk is steaming, whisk in 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until dissolved and fully incorporated.
4
If making a chocolate variation, sift and whisk in 1 teaspoon cocoa powder until smooth and no lumps remain. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding up to 1 more teaspoon sugar if desired.

5
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add 1 tablespoon of your chosen spirit (rum, bourbon, or Irish cream) and 1 teaspoon coffee liqueur if using. Stir for 15–20 seconds to combine. Alcohol should be added off heat so the alcohol content remains noticeable.
6
Taste carefully and adjust amount of spirit in small increments (½ tsp) if you prefer a stronger or milder alcohol presence. Remember this recipe yields a gently boozy drink.

7
Pour the hot adult milk into 2 warmed mugs (approximately 1 cup per serving).
8
Top each mug with an optional 1 tablespoon whipped cream. Lightly dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon and/or grated nutmeg.
9
Serve immediately while hot. Provide a small spoon for stirring. Note: this beverage contains alcohol and is intended for adult consumption only.
