I live in Canada where autumn nights can be very chilly. But keeping warm on a cold night can be fun, especially if you've got someone to keep warm with! There's nothing I like better than to cuddle with my husband under a blanket while we watch TV and enjoy a hot drink. Here's a couple of my favorite hot drinks for a cold night.
Hot Chocolate & the Adult Hot Chocolate
Who doesn't like hot chocolate? I have to admit that most of my hot chocolate drinks come from a mix. But if you want to upgrade your hot chocolate, add 2 oz. of Peppermint Schnapps. It adds a depth of flavour and a touch of sweetness that will warm you from the inside out. If you like, hang a mini candy cane on the side of your mug for an even mintier taste.
Hot Buttered Rum (my favorite!)
1 small slice butter
1 tsp. brown sugar
Optional spices: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspiceVanilla extract
2 oz. dark rum
Hot waterPreparation:
1. Place butter, sugar and spices at the bottom of an Irish Coffee glass or mug
