Hey, Reader!

ICYMI: It's still winter. ❄️ If we're getting technical, winter really just started (on December 21, if you're curious.)

Even if you're not having to pull on some snow boots and shovel, the days can get a bit dreary. Enter: warm drinks!

These are some of my favorite recipes to curl up with on the couch:

​

spiked hot chocolate

On it's own hot chocolate is a classic that warms you from head to toe. But when you add a bit of booze? This childhood favorite gets a new lease on life!

hot toddy

The hot toddy is a winter classic — some people even swear by it to cure the common cold! Try it with your favorite bourbon, or make honey whiskey at home for a sweet twist.

cinnamon dolce latte

If you need to kick-start your day or spice up an afternoon, a decadent cinnamon dolce latte is just the thing! Cinnamon and a hint of vanilla pair flawlessly with coffee and cream.

mulled cider

It doesn't get much cozier than sweet and spicy cider! Mulling spices add an extra boost of fragrant flavor in this easy drink that's perfect for serving a crowd.

white hot chocolate

There’s something extra special about creamy white hot chocolate — this rich and decadent drink is so comforting and cozy! Made with real, melted chocolate, this sweet sipper is one of my favorite winter recipes.

Give one of these a try the next day that you feel that winter chill creeping in!

Pröschtli! (That's a Swiss cheers.)

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Ah, March Madness. The magical time of year when those of us who don't closely follow college basketball use our intuition — AKA favorite colors and mascots — to predict which team will come out on top. If you're like me, the tournament isn't so much must-see TV as it is a chance to get together with friends and share some drinks as we cheer on a team. Here are the drinks I think are going to be winners while watching: sweet 16 With plenty of tournament...

Creamy Irish cream cocktail on ice with gold spoon resting inside.

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Let's talk Baileys. This brand of creamy liqueur is probably the most popular, which is why you commonly hear Irish cream referred to as simply "Baileys." (And there's no apostrophe, grammar nerds.) Irish cream is basically just what it sounds like: a cream liqueur made with Irish whiskey. It adds a sweet creaminess (and a touch of booze) to cocktails, coffee and more! Dairy-free friends, fear not. Look for Baileys Almande for a non-dairy alternative....

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! Ok, it's officially starting to feel like spring to me! The birds are out and about, buds are starting to show and we're getting more and more sunshine each day. Hooray! The changing of the seasons makes me want to change up what's in my glass, too! While winter warmers have been on rotation for me, spring calls for fruity, refreshing drinks. All of these drinks are ready for spring sipping and celebrations. Since they don't have any alcohol, they'd be...
