There are 17 stops along the trail, and you can try everything from boozy beverages to eyeball gummy-topped concoctions. The drinks are created by chocolatiers, chefs and mixologists from bakeshops and restaurants around Niagara Falls.
Beverages include the Christmas Chocolate Holly from Coco's Terrace Steak House, which has a boozy version available with whipped cream, cherry, "mystery spice alcohol," and nutmeg sprinkled on top.
The Dulce de Leche with Mini Churros from District 11 at Hilton Hotel & Suite is just what it sounds like: a Dulce de Leche and cinnamon-flavoured drink finished off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle and served with cinnamon sugar mini churros.
The Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel has created a Velvet Kiss hot cocoa, which is made with Chambord raspberry liquor, Bailey’s almond cream, creamy white hot chocolate, whipped cream, grenadine drizzle, raspberry dust, and a Hershey kiss to top it all off.
Another drink work noting is the Dirty Snowman by Ruby Tuesday, which has Baileys, Creme De Cacao, vodka and hot chocolate topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The full list is available online, and if you're craving a sweet adventure this winter, this hot chocolate trail might satisfy your cravings.
