Sledding Game Hot Cocoa Hat Guide

Drink 100 cups’ worth of hot cocoa for the Hot Cocoa Hat. The unlock guides map that to 1,000 “liquids consumed” in the statistics menu. Drinking 1,000 cups is the separate Drinking Game achievement, so the larger achievement total should not be used as the hat threshold.

Steam community reward condition. Normal cups are sufficient; this procedure does not depend on reproducing an infinite-cocoa glitch.

Three cocoa goals, three conditions

GoalRecorded condition
Hot Cocoa Hat100 cups’ worth of drinking; 1,000 liquids consumed.
Drinking Game achievementDrink 1,000 cups; the guide maps this to 10,000 liquids.
Barista achievementPrepare 1,000 cups at the dispenser. Preparing is not the same counter as drinking.
Professional Drinker achievement100 consecutive inputs in the two-cup reaction minigame.

On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see every column.

These are distinct tasks even though the names and props all involve cocoa. The achievement reference lists them separately.

Use ordinary cocoa at the lodge

  1. Get cocoa from the bar

    Use a normal cup and the hot-cocoa dispenser in the lodge. The achievement guide identifies the dispensers at the cocoa bar.

  2. Drink and refill

    Consume the cocoa, then refill or obtain another normal cup. Repeat the ordinary drinking interaction; merely preparing a cup contributes to a different goal.

  3. Check your progress periodically

    Open the statistics menu and read liquids consumed. Compare it with your starting total so you can see that drinking is being recorded.

The guides do not require marshmallows for the hat’s drinking progress. No current unlimited-cup input combination is needed for this route.

Verify the hat rather than grinding the larger total

AttackOnMars gives the conversion as liquids consumed divided by ten for cup equivalents. At about 1,000 liquids, check for the hat notification and its entry at a clothing chest. Select the hat there to equip it.

MatthewLockedin separately writes that the hat is awarded at 1,000 liquids, while Drinking Game requires 1,000 cups. Reading that achievement as a 1,000-cup hat requirement would mix two counters.

The September patch fixes Barista unlocking from the dispenser. That announcement is not a confirmation that an older cocoa glitch still works. For another direct hat pickup, see the Cockroach Hat route.

The infinite cocoa status page preserves the original input reports and disputed achievement tracking. It does not establish a working post-September shortcut for this hat route.
