Holidays means time with family and time with family means an increased need for tranquilizers. But if you dont feel like spending christmas in a jail sell for misuse of your buddy's Valium perscription, there's always alcohol. Here are the magic ingredients to some of my favorites:

Hard & Hot Apple Cider

8 oz cider (mix or real) + 1-2 oz Tuaca 

heat cider, add alcohol, enjoy!

Spiked Chocolate

Hot chocolate is great mixed with a whole plethra of delicious alcohol. always with a  80z to 1-2 oz ratio.  

best ones so far: Bailey's, Peppermint schnapps, Kaluha... ALMOST anything (FYI Jager and hot cocoa... not the best) 

Hot Buttered Rum

Takes a little more prep work but its worth it!

1 stick butter

2 cups brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1/8 teaspoon salt

mix all indredients when butter is soft and put in freezer to firm

after mix is firm scoop large spoonful into a coffee cup, add 3-4 oz dark rum and fill the rest of the way with boiling water. stir and sip!

stuff I wanna try:

Hot Cocoa and Fireball

Hot Cider and Fireball

Hot Cider and Captain Morgans

Happy Holidays!  maybe some more recipes to come!
