Now that we're in the last full week leading up to the big day I was wondering what your traditional Christmas time drinks are, or maybe some new ones that you are looking to try. Drinks, drink recipes, non-alcoholic, post away! It's OK if they're girly, Santa forgives you. I'll start us off
For coffee 'enhancers' I've been really digging these new varieties that have been out for a few years. If you like spice you'll love the bite this has, sounds odd but chili chocolate is a combo that just works, like salted caramel.
And as a big black forest cake fan that's exactly what this tastes like, great in coffee, chilled or on the rocks.
Beer time! The following is a classic, been out since 2004 I think. This is the first year I've seen it available in cans in a 12 pack. At 5.5% a six pack will have you well on your way to having a Rudolf nose of your own.
New from Granville Island this year is a coffee version of the winter ale, just as good and at 6% it's bound to be a good time until the next day.
For an extra twist, add a shot of Kahlua to either of the above beers, makes a great dessert beer if that's a thing.
