Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "choh" (as in "chose") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Hot chocolate, the dark, thick, lightly sweetened kind that is a morning staple in the Colombian highlands, Ecuador, and Bolivia. An achocolatado is less a beverage and more a ritual: warming, grounding, and the first thing you reach for when the cold mountain air hits.

Examples

Give me a nice hot hot chocolate to start the day right.

In Bogota when it's cold, the first thing you want is a warm cup of achocolatado.
