This recipe developed from me wanting an egg cream but not having any chocolate syrup so I macgyver-ed up some with honey and coco powder which ended up being way better than hersey's. This way you can use better quality coco powder than they'd use in the pre-made syrup. It's important to use dutch-processed (also called sweetened) otherwise it'll be too acidic. You can use any honey but the orange blossom does go quite nicely. If you want it to be non-acoholic, replace the kahlua with coffee and just leave the vodka out.
1 tbsp dutch-processed coco powder
1 tbsp orange blossom honey
1 tbsp kahlua
1/3 cup milk
2/3 cup seltzer
vodka to taste (I do 2 tbsp)
1. in a glass mix the coco powder and kahlua with a fork or small whisk until smooth, stirring in the honey, then milk and vodka.
2. add in ice and stir
3. in a chilled glass add in the seltzer and pour in the coco/milk mixture. serve with a orange spiral.
