Knickerless minx

Will warm you up from the inside and, um, goes down real easy. No pictures of this one, probably just as well.

1oz Waterpocket cocoa & rum
6 dashes grapefruit or orange bitters
1 marshmallow, regular size (or 2 - 3 small)
Mayan cocoa powder
Barrel smoked sugar
1/2 oz 1/2 & 1/2 or heavy cream
Few ice cubes

Mix bitters with rum. Dip the marshmallow to dampen, then dip again into Mayan cocoa powder to coat. Sprinkle with smoked sugar, spike on a pick and set aside.

Optionally, rim a ceramic beaker with rum and smoked sugar or Mayan cocoa powder. (If you rim the beaker, you could toast the marshmallow instead of sugaring it. Meh, ain't nobody got time for that. Do this only if you already have a campfire lit anyway.)

Add the cream to the rum with the ice cubes. Stir, strain into the beaker. Garnish with the prepared marshmallow.

Serves one. Make more than one; your companions will thank you.
