I generally have one cup of coffee a day, in the morning. However in the winter I generally have a craving for a cup in the late afternoon when it’s cold outside. If I weren’t all preggers and stuff I’d definitely be trying one of these. Somebody try one and let me know if it’s good!
1 cup of Coffee
1 serving of Hot Chocolate
1 shot of Butterscotch Schnapps
I found it. After searching long and hard and giving every single kind of sparkling wine a fair and equal chance, I found it! My favorite bubbly.
I have not a clue how to pronounce it. But I do know its less that 10 dollars at most grocery stores, its crisp and clean. If you like sparkling wines, this is a sure bet.
It’s a good thing I’m preggers during the winter because I’m not really craving or missing beer as much as I might in a HOTT Texas summer; however, my sister broke open a bottle of this stuff at Christmas and it sure did smell wonderful!
This is her go to red wine: Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon and people, it’s not only cheap, but can usually be found in the grocery store. Enjoy a glass for me!
This German version of a spiced wine (pronounced “clue wine”) used to be a staple at my house during Christmastime. We haven’t made this wine for several years, but I think this will be the year we bring it back…sounds delish and I wish I could partake!
Pour the wine into a large pot and begin heating over low heat. As it begins to warm, add sugar and spices. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add the brandy.
Add the lemon and orange. Heat thoroughly but do not allow the wine to ever boil.
Serve hot and garnish with orange slices.
I consider this the home stretch of planning all the get togethers and meals surrounding the holiday season. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser, looks its takes a bit of prep, but could really pay off!
Pour the cranberry juice, sparkling wine and Cointreau into a punch bowl. Use your hands to squeeze some of the juice from the limes into the punch. Stir. Add the squeezed limes to the punch. Add the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and mint leaves. Dunzo.
Some of the other tipsy gals have really cool pitchers to serve this out of, like the ones shown here, I think it would be a shoe-in to a berry merry Christmas!
Sticking with the holiday theme, today’s Hump Day Happy Hour is a Gingerbread Manhattan. I’m not a whiskey girl by any means, I for one think it tastes like band-aids but I might be tempted to try this NEXT holiday season (when I can partake in such libations).
Try this one out for me and let me know how it is…
I know there are some eggnog lovers out there and my husband is one of them. I feel quite confident he would love this drink as he loves eggnog and he loves guinness. Has anybody tried this one?
1 oz Guinness
1 oz Bacardi Golden Rum
Eggnog
For this turkey day, I went in search for a fabulous drink to accompany our meal and ran across this….OMG sounds so good…someone, PLEASE make this and let us knocked up ladies of the world know how it tastes!
Shake this like you would a martini and serve in martini glass.
Side note: I recently enjoyed this beverage during an ad-hoc happy hour where we were politely asked to order and consume more food so that we could order another round of drinks. I believe this was the pre-cutoff. Either way we ordered more food, I drank my Red Door, and all was good with the world.
Baby Blue Whiskey is made by the Balcones distillery right here in the great state of Texas. I’ve never tried this whiskey, but since my hubby likes to drink whiskey in the winter time, I might have to grab him a bottle to try!
