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.
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
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.
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.
And ends up being quite a fun cold weather remedy.
Cheers!
