Thirsty Thursday - Holiday Edition

Welcome, November!!!  

It is officially the Holiday season.  Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Black Friday/My Birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day.   

In the spirit of the cold weather, the rain, and all the upcoming holidays, I've decided to dedicate a Thirsty Thursday to my Top 5 favorite winter drinks.  Here goes... 

And remember, no holiday beverage from Starbucks would be complete without the almighty Christmas cup.

  

1) My favorite Starbucks beverage to put IN the Christmas cup, is the Peppermint Mocha.

Espresso, steamed milk, mocha sauce and peppermint flavored syrup, topped with sweetened whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.

2) The Pumpkin Spice Latte has grown increasingly popular over the last few years.  I finally tried it last year, and it really is quite delicious.
Espresso, pumpkin-flavored syrup and steamed milk. Topped with sweetened whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices.
3) Then there is a light alcoholic beverage called a Sleigh Ride.  I have these every year, the first weekend of December at the St. John's Craft Fair.
Hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps.

4) WINE!
Any white wine will do.  I'm not picky about this. 

5) And finally, my favorite childhood holiday beverage.....

Good, old fashioned hot chocolate with marshmallows.  You just can't beat it.

 

So as we move closer to these glorious holidays, please remember to drive safe, drink responsibly, and never alone.  The holidays are a time for family, friends, lovers, and group drinking. <3
