Red wine is a guilty pleasure of us wine-loving keto-ers. While we can’t subscribe to the “glass a day” and keep burning fat, we sure can splurge on the holidays. One of my favorite things to do has always been to pack some super dark chocolate when I go wine tasting. It’s incredible how different a wine can taste before and after a bit of chocolate. This cabernet hot chocolate cocktail, blends the best of both worlds, making it taste like a chocolate covered cherry or a drinkable black forest cake!
