With many gearing up for Bonfire Night, experts at the Bottle Club have shared a simple but delicious Baileys hot chocolate recipe.
Scots will have noticed that it's getting colder outside, and some will want to heat themselves up after getting home from their local fireworks. Since Bonfire Night is an exciting spectacle for many, adults may also want to have a tasty drink - or to impress their pals with their mixology skills, writes Hull Live.
The Bottle Club have shared a smart way to heat up both your cold hands and your spirits with a hot chocolate drink which has been made with Baileys Original Irish Cream, - which they currently have on offer for £14.99. The cheap and simple to make drink only requires a couple extra ingredients to whip up.

Fireworks displays will be taking place across Scotland, although restrictions are in place that will limit the times in which people can set them off. It comes after new laws were introduced last month that criminalises proxy-buying fireworks for under-18s.
