January 12, 2015

So you want to make a warm, boozy drink? Here's how: Start with tea, coffee, cocoa, or cider or -- go ahead -- skip a non-alcoholic flavoring altogether and keep the focus on a base liquor. Spice it or mull it, as you wish. And that's that.

Here are 12 drinks that'll keep you warmer -- and happier -- than another layer of socks:

I wish I had seen this list a couple months ago! A lot of the recipes I found were too sweet or just ..odd. I ended up make a Spiced and Spiked Hot Apple Cider with some fresh unfiltered apple juice. I think we've remade it 4 times already! I'll have to save this list for the next cold spell.
