Whether at home with the family or out on the town, your table or thermos needs to full of one of these!
Let's start with the fun ones first!
Some like it cold!
This will keep you warm on the coldest of nights!
4 ounces (½ cup) ginger beer
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) dark rum, traditionally Gosling’s Black Seal rum
1 lime wedge
Ice, for serving (try clear ice!)
Easy peasy!
Now, for a more difficult one.
Some like it hot!
We live in an area overflowing with wine and fruit. It would be almost rude not to make this!
8 oz Drambuie
1 bottle (750 ml) red wine (we suggest cabernet sauvignon)
2 oz honey
1 mint tea bag
Peel of half a grapefruit
Peel of 1 orange
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
.5 tsp whole juniper berries
.5 tsp whole allspice berries
.5 tsp whole peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick
Instructions With a mortar and pestle grind the berries and peppercorns and add to a sauce pan. Add all other ingredients to the sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute. Strain and serve. If not hot enough, bring back to a simmer. Serve hot.
Non-Alcoholic Options
Chilled like a zombie!
This one is a personal favorite!
4 hibiscus tea bags
1 small cinnamon stick, smashed
1 c. pomegranate juice
1/2 c. fresh navel or blood orange juice, plus slices for serving
1 (750-milliliter) bottle sprite or 7-up
Tadaa! Tasty magic! Serve it with a floating eyeball and you're all set!
Warm like hades!
This is a personal favorite. We have this in our crockpot constantly.
1 jug of apple juice
1 jug of cranberry juice
2 cinnamon sticks
4 cloves
sliced oranges
Leave this one low heat for a few hours and your house will smell amazing. It'll warm your tummy too!
