Drinks To Kiss 2008 Goodbye

Mistletoe (Nadine's favorite)
Mix 1 oz. tequila, ½ oz. triple sec, ½ oz. pomegranate juice together. Fill glass with champagne. Kissing will begin shortly.

Heat 1 cup whole milk and ¼ cup cream. Whisk in either 3 oz. melted dark chocolate or 2T liquid chocolate into milk. Add 2T brandy when heated to desired temp. Kahlua also works nicely!

Killer Egg Nog (Molly's Favorite?)
Add pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and clove to 1 cup eggnog base (Stewart’s brand is excellent). Mix in 1 oz. bourbon, 1 oz. rum and ½ oz. cognac. You will start to feel very warm and fuzzy halfway through your second mug.

Snowball (Your favorite?)
Mix 1-1/2 oz. good gin (bad gin is worse than rotgut), ½ oz. anise liqueur and ½ oz. cream in a shaker with ice. Strain out ice and serve in chilled glass. Watch out, these hit with a snowball-like intensity.

Spicy Martini (Justin's favorite?)
Mix 2 oz. good gin, 2 oz. apple cider, 3/4 oz. fresh orange
