Winter delight

Warm cozy nights by a roaring fire, sweaters, turtleneck shirts and scarves bring to mind the long and at times, dreary months of winter. Now, with the warm weather approaching it is difficult to think about cold weather cocktails. Most of us have endured a long harsh winter and are looking forward to the summer, grilling on the deck and cool refreshing drinks. However, I was introduced to this recipe from some friends and it was so good that I felt it was worth sharing. This drink is perfect as a substitute to after dinner coffee and goes well with many desserts. Because of the seasonal ingredients required for this cocktail it may be difficult (if not impossible) to make during the spring and summer, but come fall and winter it’s sure to be a hit.
For this simple recipe you will need:
1 – ½ pint of butterscotch schnapps
1 – Quart of apple cider
4 – Cinnamon sticks
4 – 8 oz. coffee mugs
Pour into a large pot entire quart of apple cider
Slowly heat the cider on a medium – low to low setting until the cider begins to steam but NOT BOIL
While the cider is heating – put one measured shot of butterscotch schnapps into each of the coffee mugs
When cider is warmed, pour 8 oz of cider into each mug
Use fresh cinnamon stick to stir and leave in the cup as a garnish
Serve immediately with cinnamon sticky buns or a fresh baked loaf of cinnamon bread.
