Camping Cocoa with Vodka

This chocolatey Camping Cocoa with Vodka is light and refreshing. It is the perfect camping treat!

When I go camping I usually either forget something or I run out of something. During my recent camping trip to Colorado I had a bottle of vodka that I was drinking with pineapple orange juice. As usual, I ran out of something – the juice. Being at my campsite and not close to civilization, I perused the kitchen box to see what else I could mix with my vodka. This Camping Cocoa with Vodka was the result. You could use cacao powder, cocoa powder, or a cocoa mix as well, and adjust the sugar as needed. I always buy unsweetened almond milk, so I added sugar to make this cocktail sweeter. You could drink this hot or cold.

When I go on a road trip I like to pack food in mason jars, because they are more secure than reusable plastic containers. I took advantage of having an empty jar, and made a sun tea. On this same trip I also made a Camping Sangria, which was made in a mason jar as well.

Ingredients

1-2 Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice tea bags (depending how strong you like your tea)
6 oz. water
