This sounds good:


Hot Buttered Rum
Winter mornings don't need to be so chilly

Combine in a footed coffee mug

1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum
1 tsp. Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Butter
Fill with hot water or milk. Stir well and top with Nutmeg.



Or this:

Kahlua Hot Chocolate

3/4 oz. Kahlua
3/4 oz. Chocolate Liqueur
3/4 cup Hot Chocolate

Prepare the hot chocolate. Add in Kahlua and liqueur. Stir well. Garnish with Hershey’s Chocolate Kiss and marshmallow.



I don't have any chocolate liqueur (I don't think) so I can't do that second one. Wah!


This one sounds pretty good, too:

Hot Toddy
Bring on Winter - We're Ready!

1 oz. Brandy
1 Tablespoon Honey
1/4 Lemon
1 cup Boiling Water
1 Tea Bag

Coat the bottom of a mug with the honey. Add brandy and juice of lemon quarter. On the side, boil water and add tea bag to make hot tea. Pour steaming tea into honey/brandy/lemon combination.

Oh yeah, and it's snowing again. :-/

this may be a dumb question, but i am clueless...
what's a footed coffee mug?

Like this:



We only have one, I think, and I got it in a gift pack with the brandied apple cider I bought Bill yesterday. I'm not sure WHY it needs to be in a footed mug. Maybe because it looks better? It seems sort of silly to me.

I make hot toddies all the time.....good for winter colds, they clear out stuffy heads. I don't use tea at all, just pour boiling water over the rest of the ingredients. But I do add 3-4 cloves and an inch or so of cinnamon stick.

If I was making it pretty, I would stick the cloves into a lemon slice, and put that on the bottom of the cup with/under the honey.
