Hot Cocoa with Cinnamon is a drink featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the second episode of the first season.
History
Newly-arrived in Storybrooke, Emma is served hot cocoa with cinnamon by Ruby, who says a secret admirer ordered it for her. Emma assumes it was Graham and even points that he guessed right about the cinnamon, because not everybody is a fan of it, but the sheriff says it was not him who sent her the drink. Henry then reveals himself to be the secret admirer and explains that he, too, enjoys cinnamon. Later, Emma goes to see Mary Margaret at her loft. Taking a sip from the hot cocoa the schoolteacher served her, Emma comments about the cinnamon on it. Mary Margaret replies that she should have asked before adding it, because not everyone likes cinnamon, but Emma says she actually does like it. ("The Thing You Love Most")

After Regina leaves, telling her to enjoy her hot cocoa with cinnamon, Emma drops the beverage all over herself, which prompts her to go to the laundry room, where she meets Ashley.

The devious Peter Pan switches bodies with Henry, but Emma feels something is wrong. At the town line, she confronts "Pan", who tries to prove he is actually Henry by saying he likes hot cocoa with cinnamon, ultimately convincing her and everyone else hat he is indeed her son. ("The New Neverland")In New York City, Emma makes breakfast for herself and Henry, which includes two cups of hot cocoa. Henry points out that something is missing, and Emma adds cinnamon in their drink. ("Going Home")
In Storybrooke, at the diner, Ruby approaches Henry, who just came back from New York with no recollection of his former life, and serves him hot cocoa with cinnamon. The kid is curious about why she added cinnamon in it, to which the waitress says it was a lucky guess. ("Witch Hunt")
Awaiting news from Belle as she researches what spell Zelena intends to cast, Emma shows off her strengthening magic skills at the diner by teleporting a cup of hot cocoa with cinnamon from the diner counter to Hook's table.
