Drinks, Anyone?

With the weather turning increasingly chilly (chillier?), my mind turns to warm yummy drinks that I can mix and serve to special people. Drink mixing is a favorite hobby of mine and Joshua's. I like creating and mixing the drinks and Joshua likes drinking them so it works out well for both of us. Here's a warm drink that I came up with that Joshua really enjoys:

My Caramel Apple Drink:
5 oz. apple cider, warmed
2 tsp. brown sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you want it)
2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
splash of Vodka (optional)

Add sugar to cider and stir until dissolved. Add the booze and stir. This makes enough to fill one Irish Coffee mug. I usually don't measure ingredients when I make drinks so these measurements are actually just an educated guess and you can adjust things for your own taste preferences.


And don't forget this ol' classic:
Add Irish Cream liquor to cocoa and top with slightly sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with cocoa power or coffee granules.
Tip:You can add some liquors to heavy cream as you are whipping it. This gives it a really yummy kick.
