This drink is luscious, decadent and laced with 
spices inspired by Latin America and Spain: cinnamon, saffron, vanilla and Anaheim peppers. Made with ganache (a mixture of heavy cream, chocolate and butter), you can make it doubly decadent by adding a dollop of chantilly cream or a homemade marshmallow.
