Stella San Jac’s Fire Pit Cocoa

1.5 Oz Coffee-Vanilla Infused Treaty Oak Rum

3 Oz Housemade Dark Cocoa

3 tbsp of Hot Chocolate Infused whipped cream

 

Treaty Oak Rum with coffee beans and a little vanilla from one Stella’s porthole infusers for about 4 hours.  It may take a bit longer (maybe 8 hours), but you could do it at home in any sealed glass container/jar.

The Treaty Oak itself is a majestic Live Oak over 500 years old located in downtown Austin. Its name and history were derived from a legend stating that Stephen F. Austin signed a boundary treaty with local Native Americans beneath its shade.  www.treatyoak.com
