Give yourself a bitter-sweet treat today by trying Embers’ molten chocolate drink, The American Dream. Featured recently in The Tennessean along with four other hot chocolates to try in town, get yourself ready for the soothing comfort it will surely bring.

“If this is turning out to be the winter of your discontent, Embers Ski Lodge has your happy. The American Dream is part cocktail, part hot chocolate, all delicious. Sip a blend of Mexican dark chocolate, black treacle, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, salted caramel and butter-washed bourbon, garnished with mini-marshmallows and salted caramel chips. Nothing turns discontent into content like quaffing boozy melted chocolate in an atmosphere that evokes ski lodges without the lift ticket fees. Also “quaff.” Nothing turns discontent into content like using the word “quaff.” Ellen Margulies, 5 to Try: Molten Chocolate.
