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.)

It doesn't snow often where I live, but there is just something comforting about a mug of hot chocolate in the wintertime.
