I have a weaknes in my heart for homemade Christmas gifts and I thought it was time to finally share some fun Paleo food ideas that you can give this year.

I was kicking around the idea of making Kahlua but then I remembered I had given up coffee. What’s a girl to do? I decided to share how to make chocolate vodka.

I am a big fan of White Russian Cocktails. It was  my drink of choice when I hit the young age of 21. Second to my love of the cocktail green tea shot.

I haven’t had one in ages since I rarely drink but I added a splash of the chocolate vodka to cream over ice and it was heavenly.  It’s definitely an adult version of chocolate milk.

  1. I just whipped up a batch last night. I use a cordial making machine from the eighties. It uses radiant energy to make the cordials in half a day rather than weeks or months. I am letting it sit in a jar for a few days. By Sunday it should be ready to taste. I’ll let you know how it is. Thanks for the great recipe. I did use all vodka instead of part water. I have really been missing my Cupcake vodka in Devil’s Food.
