Mexican Mocha – Wedding Inspiration in Cocoa and Chili Red

Now that fall is officially here and there’s a snap in the air, I like to indulge in one of my favorite cold-weather treats – a Mexican Mocha! Mexican chocolate – or Aztec chocolate, as I’ve also heard it called – is made with sweet chocolate mixed with spices for a delicious kick. My mother used to make it from a brick of chocolate melted in milk on nights when it was cold enough for us to light a fire and sip cocoa by the Christmas tree lights. These days I like to add a heaping spoonful of powdered spiced chocolate to my espresso in the morning, and it also makes for rich and luxurious wedding inspiration! Perfect for a fall or winter wedding, the palette of chocolate and espresso brown is spiced up with the heat from hot chili red.
