GeorgiaFor my week I chose cold weather drinks. Be it hot or cold. Weather or drink. It's been a little chilly here. Not overly cold at all. I mean one morning it was in the 20's. But today's high was in the 60's and rainy. Either way.. Still great weather for hot cocoa. A few years ago we started the hot cocoa challenge where we would buy several types of hot cocoa to see which was the best one. We've done that every year since. This year I made two different variations using the Silly cow double udder. Cocoa on the left is a chai hot cocoa. Steep 2 tea bags in hot milk. Add cocoa. Top with whipped cream. Unless you're the hubs who insists whipped cream is for girls. Cocoa on the left I used heated chocolate milk with the cocoa, a scoop of vanilla ice cream (mmm hmm) and whipped cream. Because I'm a girl Who was the big winner this year? The hot cocoa I had at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens Holiday Lights. Hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps!! But the cocoa with the vanilla ice cream came in a pretty close second. Cammy I'm a coffee kind of gal. I haven't always been. When I was young, I swear my mom would buy coffee ice cream because she knew I wouldn't touch it! At 18, I joined the Air Force and very quickly became a coffee kind of gal. When I started drinking it, it was more like having a little coffee with my sugar and cream. I went through phases though, sometimes drinking it black, sometimes with just Jen It’s still t-shirt weather here, so it’s not unreasonable to have a frozen beverage on a winter day! I’m not a coffee fan, so this one is “Frozen Chocolate”, shared with my favorite 7-year old. On a cold morning, I sometimes make hot chocolate. I love chocolate! 😊 Mandy During the colder weather/ holiday season I always want red hots. I’m sure it’s from all those gingerbread houses we made as kids. When I saw this recipe for a Red Hot Martini I had to give it a try. This drink tastes exactly like the candy. I loved it. The sugar on the rim really makes you feel like you are eating the candy. I did use regular vodka instead of cinnamon vodka (couldn’t find it) and regular sugar. What a treat! Looking forward to making this drink to share with my friends. Cheers!🍸 Mandy Nikita We are rounding the corner to winter and the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas!
Stay warm or cool depending on where you are. Georgia, Cammy, Jen, Mandy and Nikita
