Best Answer

hot is most commonly used an adjective.

e.g. In "a hot drink", hot is an adjective because it describes the noun 'drink'.

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, but verbs that can be modified with 'hot' are very rare.

e.g. serve hot

If you think of lots of expressions using hot, you will find that the word hot usually plays an adjectival role.
