Lavender London Fog
This Lavender London Fog is cozy, creamy, frothy, and perfectly balanced with delicate floral notes and a subtle sweetness in every sip. Made with fragrant Earl Grey tea, my Easy Lavender Simple Syrup, two types of vanilla, and your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy), this café-style drink is both comforting and elegant.
Parisian Hot Chocolate (Chocolat Chaud)
So rich and thick, this Parisian Hot Chocolate (Chocolat Chaud) is as close as it comes to true French hot chocolate. Inspired by the famous chocolat chaud from Angelina Paris, this decadent sipping chocolate is made with dark chocolate, milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and a touch of sugar. Espresso powder is the secret ingredient that brings out the chocolate flavor in this cozy drink. Topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, the smallest cup of this delicious chocolate drink will definitely satisfy your chocolate craving!
Classic Irish Coffee
The first sip of this Classic Irish Coffee will have you hooked! This traditional Irish coffee recipe combines extra strong coffee, brown sugar, and Irish whiskey, then is topped with a layer of gently whipped cream. This simple 4 ingredient recipe is so easy and takes only a few minutes to make. Its smooth and slightly sweet flavor makes it the perfect after dinner drink on Saint Patrick’s Day or anytime of year!
Turmeric Hot Toddy
My Turmeric Hot Toddy is the perfect drink recipe for cold winter days, or when you are just feeling a bit under the weather. Using fresh lemon, honey, blended scotch whiskey, cinnamon and anti-inflammatory spices, this delicious boozy tea is both comforting and medicinal. In less than 10 minutes, this yummy hot toddy will have you feeling warm and cozy all over! Try the non-alcoholic version in the Pimp My Recipe section of my blog for this recipe.
