Let's read a short story about this traditional drink!
Hot Chocolate

At Christmas, my grandad always made hot chocolate with "a secret ingredient."
When I finally asked what it was, he winked and said, “Extra sugar to keep you bouncing.”
Years later, I realized the “sugar” was a splash of brandy.
No wonder everyone was so cheerful after his hot chocolate!
