When you’re having a wander down at the Albert Dock, the best way to tackle the waterfront winds is with a Velvet hot chocolate from Rough Hand Made. No need for any added extras, this is just pure chocolatey beauty – chunky curls of chocolate melted using hot frothy milk poured on top of them.

Hotel Chocolat, Liverpool ONE

You need a pitstop when you’re shopping, so take a break at Hotel Chocolat where you can find out how they make thwie velvety hot chocs and try out flavours like the chilli dark, maple and pecan or salted caramel – and you can get a cocoa whip on top or on the side.

Leaf

Head to Leaf on Bold Street, Smithdown Road or over in West Kirkby and alongside their array of teas, they’ve got a trio of lovely hot chocs too. Everyone’s got their own favourite, so go for milk, dark (made with 70% dark chocolate) or white, topped with toasted marshmallows for an extra sweet kick.

Café Lucaya, Water Street

Anyone giving Dry January a miss this year should get to Café Lucaya in Tower Building because as well as regular Belgian, they’ve got a couple of boozy hot chocs that could be just what you’re looking for on a chilly afternoon. Why not try an amaretto one made with a slug of Disarrono?

Rococo Coffee House, Lord Street

Upstairs on Lord Street, Rococo is the perfect place for a pit stop if you’re out in town. Give yourself a whopping treat with one of their hot chocs, piled high with whipped cream and marshmallows … or you could always have a Baileys one if you fancy, January feels like it lasts forever so no-one’s judging.

Moose Coffee

On Dale Street, opposite the Town Hall, Moose is known for its coffee and amazing breakfasts, but it does a very decent hot chocolate too – Moose chocolate sticks melted into a mug of steaming hot milk.
