Pad Patter 12/23: What's your favorite winter drink?

Winter here is officially here where I live, and even though it hasn't gotten too cold out yet in my area, I just love the comfort of a hot cup of peppermint white mocha from Starbucks this time of year.

What's your poison when the weather gets cold? Hot cocoa or eggnog? Do you like gingerbread lattes or something a little stronger? Share recipes if you have them! :)
 
We love hot cider. I make a spiced cider for my kids, but I have a grown-ups only version too.

1 quart apple cider
1/2 750ml bottle dark rum
1/2 750ml bottle Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps
4 cinnamon sticks
6 whole allspice
10 whole cloves
1 orange, sliced

I throw it all in the crockpot and let it warm all evening. Delish...and potent. LOL

But I do like Peppermint Mocha.
 
oh yum laura! i may have to try that out this holiday :)

i also have get at least one peppermint mocha at starbucks each season - but this year i didn't really love mine ... i got the light version and it just wasn't the same - i may have to try again :)
 
Hot Chocolate for sure!!! And lately I have been adding a little white choc. caramel creamer to it to make it even creamer!!!
 
Apple Juice with Mullins Apple Cider! Yum! Or a good cup of coffee with Hazelnut creamer. :) Just so happy that we don't have fierce winters down here in Arkansas like some here.
 
I would love to back in the land of winter, but I'm here in Louisiana in the land of perpetual summer. lol. However, even the warmer temps can't keep me from my hot chocolate. I usually make it the old fashioned way with cocoa powder and milk on the stove, but I have really been enjoying the peppermint hot chocolates from McDonald's this year too!
