Why it works as a party game

You were going to pour cocoa anyway. Make it a Christmas party game and the kettle earns its keep.

How to play

  1. Pour two or three cocoas into unmarked cups.
  2. Sip in order, water in between if you have it.
  3. Write a guess or a favorite.
  4. Reveal. Majority favorite wins the kettle for the rest of the night.

Hosting tips

  • Keep dairy and dairy-free on separate trays.
  • Not too hot. Tasting games should not burn.
  • Marshmallows after the guess, or they become the only note.
