A warm and cozy cup of deliciousness!

A favourite indulgent recipe I like to use every year. Just doesn't seem like Christmas without it anymore. Also, it's Christmas, so it's ok to over indulge, right?

"It's old fashioned, it's comforting, it makes the kitchen smell wonderful and it's good for the soul."

Have you ever heard of muller beer (yes, beer)? No? So try this Polish recipe for a warming drink, perfect for the winter. I come from Poland and I decided to show you some original and surprising recipes from my land. It was originally inspired by my lovely friends who wanted to try some unexpected combination of flavours from my region.

It's cherry cola for adults! This yummy holiday cocktail is spicy with a nice hit of sweetness from the maraschino cherries.

My wife and I went for a long hike in the woods on a below 40 degree day in the Pacific Northwest. We were cold when we got home. Before I shed my coat and scarf I began a pot of hot cocoa. Just after pouring the hot cocoa into mugs on the spur of the moment I added 1.5 oz Veil Double Espresso Vodka and whipped cream. I handed a mug to my wife confessing that I had been playing with ingredients again. She took a dubious sip. Oh nice! she exclaimed, adding; You can play with ingredients anytime especially when there's alcohol involved. Since she liked the drink so much and I enjoyed the bold contrast of the hot liquid with my cold-from-the-hike self I kept the recipe - and drew it here using vigorous lines and contrasting colors in an attempt to capture my feelings.

A delicious from-scratch holiday drink featuring a blend of cocoa, hazelnut and cardamom.

My favourite hot drinks, vegan and totally healthy. Add your favourite sweetener for extra deliciousness!

Delicious variations on a summer favourite - Lemonade;-) And since there is no one recipe for lemonade, the instructions are pretty simple;-) Everything to taste, with a bit of this and a bit of that.

Easy to make, and goes down easy! Last Christmas, I couldn't find the peppermint vodka that I like, because our local distributor stopped carrying it. So I tried making my own. This recipe is fun and a great introduction to the art of making your own liqueurs. Cheers!
