Blake Lively Just Gave NYC’s Most Famous Frozen Hot Chocolate A Boozy Makeover—Here’s How To Find It
I lived in New York City for nearly five years and I’m ashamed to say that in that time, I never had the chance to visit Serendipity3. A sweet staple since 1954, Serendipity3 is a whimsical restaurant known for its over-the-top desserts and famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. Their frosty take on frozen hot chocolate is made from a secret blend of 14 different cocoas, milk, sugar and ice. The finished drink is then loaded with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I’m still kicking myself for having never tried it.
Serendipity3 already serves several spiked versions of their Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, but the dessert just got a boozy upgrade thanks to actress Blake Lively.

Dear everyone, let’s all just calm down for a second because what we’re not about to do is take my beloved eggnog from me. It’s not even November yet and we’re already choosing violence. In case you haven’t heard, actress Aubrey Plaza and Cointreau have announced that “eggnog is out, Margaritas are in.”
Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that margaritas are easily in my Top 5 Cocktails list. And yes, margs made with Cointreau are elite. Buttt, there’s something so special about a boozy eggnog when winter rolls around. That creamy decadence paired with the spicy bite of a bourbon or dark rum. Ughhh, so good. Despite that, Plaza still had some pretty bold words for eggnog.
