Jamaica

Despite its popularity in Europe, hot chocolate spread to other countries. In the late 17th century, the method of making hot chocolate in the Caribbean islands led Jamaicans to indulge in the drink, and by the end of the 18th century, hot chocolate was considered the “drink of the gods” in the country.

Netherlands

This country is responsible for mass-producing cocoa at the end of the 19th century, and also for introducing chocolate bars to the world. For the Dutch, chocolate is a national passion, and you can even find chocolate galleries in Amsterdam. And for this reason, hot chocolate is no exception; you can easily come across “chocolabs” on the streets of the city center, which are stores specializing in this.

Mexico

In Mexico, hot chocolate is combined with other ingredients such as cinnamon, vanilla or chili peppers and is sold in round or hexagonal blocks. If you happen to be in El Moro in Mexico City, try one of the best Mexican hot chocolates at this churreria, which was founded in 1935.
