Macazzo: Macazzo, in Southern Avenue, has three hot chocolates — Spanish, British and Irish. The Spanish hot chocolate — a piping hot concoction made using pure milk chocolate that is imported from Belgium — is the most popular sip. Served following the traditional Spanish route, the drink is whipped up thick enough to be used as a dipping sauce

Patisserie by Franziska: The Russell Street patisserie has four versions of their signature hot chocolate, which allows customers to choose the percentage of cocoa. For a low-key cuppa, choose the 33%, but if you prefer a cuppa that is rich, the 70% variation is your go-to. Note: The hot chocolate is on offer for a limited period so call the patisserie to confirm availability. Pair it with one of their decadent desserts for an indulgent snack
