The Final Line-Up Bourbon Hot Toddy by Family Around the Table Graham Cracker Latte by Books n’ Cooks Sweetheart Coffee by Our Good Life Winter Wonderland Mojito by Culinary Adventures with Camilla Just in case you need a recap, over the past few weeks, I have shared:  Aquavit & Tonic ,  Hot Vanilla ,  Irish Coffee ,  Earl Grey Hot Toddy   Today I envisioned a cocktail that evoked the feeling of a winter wonderland, and planned to make holly-esque garnishes with pomegranate arils and fresh mint leaves. What came out of the kitchen was less than photogranic albeit tasty. The coconut milk had thicker...

Happy New Year and welcome to the fifth installment of the Winter Warm-Up Drink Series hosted by Ellen of  Family Around the Table ! I missed last week due to a crazy schedule, but there's one more that I have planned. Can't wait to share. Cheers. Sips to Warm You Up Aquavit & Tonic by Culinary Adventures with Camilla Cinnamon Cookie Butter Latte by Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks Peppermint Bark Hot Cocoa by A Day in the Life on the Farm Vanilla Coffee by Our Good Life Vietnamese Coffee by Palatable Pastime About Aquavit I am sharing an Aquavit & Tonic because, while I love a good Gin & Tonic, aquavit has become my new favorite spirit. And since I just posted a recipe for Gløgg (Danish Mulled Wine) , pictured above, I knew I needed a new recipe to share. But I wanted to start with a quick primer on aquavit.

But, when I talked to my boys about hot winter drinks, 'Hot Vanilla!' resounded around the dining table. "We love Hot Vanillas, Mom!" they hollered. I know. I know. When they were younger, we went to a breakfast spot and I always let them order - and share - one...
