There's something about January and drinking. Maybe it's the way it all starts (Happy New Year, everyone!), or maybe it's the fact that the holidays are over but winter wages on, making us chilly without the cheer. In any case, January's the month to grab a warm spiked drink and get your happy hour on. And of course, the best part of happy hour is the nibbles. We've got eight recipes to match your January drinking. Throw the party, so you don't have to leave the house. Happy happy hour!
