\n5) Spiked (and Spiced) Hot Chocolate<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

​<\/span>Probably the most popular of all the drinks listed here, hot chocolate transcends time and space to emerge as the front runner of awesome warm beverages. Add a shot of something tasty and alcoholic and you’ve got a drink that would make Santa jealous.<\/p>\n

Recipe from allrecipes.com<\/a>:
\n6 cups skim milk
\n3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
\n3 tablespoons white sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1\/2 teaspoon chili powder
\n1\/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n1\/4 teaspoon ground cloves<\/p>\n

Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until lukewarm; stir the cocoa powder and sugar into the warmed milk until dissolved. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, and cloves. Heat another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n

Add a shot of Irish Cream liqueur, Kahlua, or any other complementary-flavored alcohol for an adult version.<\/p>\n

\n6) Poinsettia<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

​<\/span>You can drink the drink, and you can actually eat the plant, too, as the myth that poinsettias are poisonous<\/a> is untrue. So drink away your fears of eating a poisonous decorative plant, and enjoy the season. For the record, we do not condone eating poinsettias, but we do recommend a good cocktail of the same name.<\/p>\n

Recipe from drinksmixer.com<\/a>:
\n1 tbsp orange liqueur
\n1 part cranberry juice
\n1 part Champagne<\/p>\n

Mix the champagne and cranberry juice, then float the orange liqueur on top.<\/p>\n

\n7) Candy Cane<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

​<\/span>After the first few weeks of December pass, you’ll probably be in the mood to start a bonfire with all the candy canes you’ve collected. Here’s a great drink to garnish with all your extra (and probably unwanted) “J”-shaped confections.<\/p>\n

Recipe from foodnetwork.com<\/a>:
\n1 shot vanilla rum
\n1 shot white chocolate liqueur (recommended: Godiva)
\n1 shot peppermint schnapps
\nCandy cane, garnish<\/p>\n

Add all liquid ingredients to cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well, and strain into martini glass. Garnish with candy cane.<\/p>\n

\n8) Hot Toddy<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
\"hot-toddy.jpg\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

​<\/span>Not a cheer screamed at Ole Miss games, but a warm, throat-soothing tea-based drink that has more to do with getting through a winter cold or flu than celebrating the holidays, but we still thought it was appropriate.<\/p>\n

Recipe from epicurious.com<\/a>:
\n1 oz (2 tablespoons) bourbon
\n1 tablespoon mild honey
\n2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
\n1\/4 cup boiling-hot water<\/p>\n

Put bourbon, honey, and lemon juice in a 6-ounce mug. Top off with hot water, and stir until honey is dissolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
