The Snuggler

Winter weather got you feeling tired and blue with no one but an orange pussy to nuzzle up to?

Yep. Been a crazy cat lady since birth.

And yes, that old photo pisses The Bear off.

Between pouring hot water on frozen car doors and shivering my ass off in the current (and unusual) frigid Tennessee weather while scraping ice off of my windshield with a spatula (yeah, this Iowa chick has lost her winter luster) I do the only thing I know how to keep warm.

Drink liquor. Hot liquor.

Four Two hot toddies per day keeps the cold air at bay, right?

I’m sure you’re all shocked that I have other methods than just my thermostat to ward off the chilly temps. My stay warm cocktail basically gussies up bland hot chocolate (I know, I know, I’m a genius).

Allow me to introduce you to ….

The Snuggler

Here’s what you’ll need for this belly heating treat:

• Kahlua
• Peppermint Schnapps
• Hot chocolate of your choice

A boozy electric blanket for your body.

Start by pouring a hearty amount of Kahlua into a handsome mug.

Follow with a heavy-handed glug (I seriously wait for the liquid to make a gulping sound as it escapes the bottle) of peppermint schnapps.

Mix a package of hot chocolate (I use a diet version, so as not to feel guilty about the generous amount of liquor included in my concoction – and therefore call it The Skinny Snuggler) with the libations and top with boiling water.  The true recipe calls for one part Kahlua, one part Peppermint Schnapps and two parts hot chocolate but now that’s not any fun, is it?

Upon completion, you will have to fight off those around you who want a sip (or lick) of their own.

Paws off!

So you’ll need to make a batch big enough for sharing – because sharing is caring, isn’t it?

Mix. Drink. Share.

Repeat.

Mix. Drink. Share.

Repeat.

This method will lead to some serious snuggling.

Let the mauling begin.

And ends up being quite a fun cold weather remedy.

Cheers!

How to Stay Warm With Booze

Winter weather got you feeling tired and blue with no one to nuzzle up to?

Oh please. Don’t let that sad face fool you. I maul Ted daily.

Between pouring hot water on frozen car doors and shivering my ass off in the unusually fridgid Tennessee weather trying to get my vehicle to start this past weekend, I did the only thing I could do to keep myself warm.

Drink liquor. Warm liquor.

Two hot toddies per day keeps the cold air at bay! Wait, or is it four?

The Snuggler

Feeling tired and blue with no one to snuggle up to you?

Longing for a cuddle….

Oh please. Don’t let that little face fool you. I maul that cat daily.

While thwarting off germs and sneezing my brains out this past weekend, I did the only thing I could do to make myself feel better. Drink liquor.

Two liquors per day keeps the doctor away! Wait, is that the right saying?

Here’s what you’ll need for The Snuggler:

Kahlua

Peppermint Schnapps

Hot Chocolate

Just a mug full of booze helps the medicine go down!

Start by carefully pouring a hearty amount of Kahlua in the bottom of a mug.

Follow with a heavy-handed glug (I seriously wait for the liquid to make a ‘glug’ sound) of peppermint schnapps.

Mix a package of hot chocolate (I selected diet hot chocolate, so as not to feel guilty about the generous amount of liquor included in my concoction) with hot water into your mug. The true recipe calls for one part Kahlua, one part Peppermint Schnapps and two parts hot chocolate (but now that’s not any fun, is it?).

Upon completion, you will have to fight off those around you who want a sip of their own.

Mmmm…I’d better have some so I don’t get Ma’s cold.

Then you’ll need to make a batch big enough for sharing – because sharing is caring, isn’t it?

Mix. Drink. Share. Repeat. Mix. Drink. Share. Repeat. Mix. Drink. Share. Repeat.

This method will lead to some serious snuggling.
