Inspired Holidays {Day 28}:: 'Tis the Season for Cozy Drinks

Southern Living

 Festive Hot Seasonal Drinks

I shared my recipe for cranberry spiced cider awhile back and I am happy some of you tried it! My husband and I love having our cozy hot drinks when it is cold outside. Another thing we really love is to get the Bailey’s Irish Creme from Costco and make hot drinks with it! YUM!

The photo of the Hot Cider Nog in the new Southern Living caught my eye while I was on the plane to Relevant and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since yesterday, so you know I’m going to be trying it out when I get home.

I don’t know about you, but Hot Cider Nog with a good book by the fire? That sounds like fall and holiday PERFECTION to me!

Find the Hot Cider Nog and other cozy drink recipes at Southern Living!

Three more days of this series! Can I make it until the end? We’ll see!

    Now I’m wondering if a hot drink is less expensive in calories than many other choices and more satisfying. It sounds so satisfying.

    Hot cider nog? Mmmmm…but I’m afraid the last thing I need is another kind of “nog” drink. I can’t control myself and end up gaining pounds because of egg nog! I think I need to stick to your hot cranberry cider. :)

    Okay, seriously, I’m swooning over here looking at the hot cider nog.

    Your hot pear/apple cider from a few weeks ago was amazing. (And, leftovers kept well in a pitcher in the fridge. It was good cold, too.) Speaking of cold, the McD’s around here have candy cane, pumpkin pie, and egg nog shakes out already. I’m…oaky with that :)

    Off to find some Bailiey’s…

    MMM…I love Bailey’s Irish Cream in my hot chocolate. Warm drinks are probably one of my favorite things about this season. And your spiced cranberry cider was soooo good!

    I’ve loved doing my own 31 days series, but I am so glad it’s almost over. I need a nap, lol.!

    Have a super time at Relevant. I so wish I could be there. I asked my husband last night if I can go next year and after I explained it he was like “so it’s like summer camp for Christian Women Bloggers?” LOL.

      I don’t really have a recipe, just pour some Bailey’s in hot milk or soy milk! That is all we do! But I’m sure there are fancier recipes than that!

    Mmm, hot cider nog sounds good. I’m a recent tea-addict. I do love my huge Canucks mug full of Irish Breakfast in the morning and Roobis at night. Even through the summer, but I do look forward to curling up on the couch with a blanket and my tea and a book or Netflix. And it’s also almost time for rum and egg nog! …I think this post has made me thirsty :) Love that picture!

    That photo of Hot Cider Nog looks soooo good! I went to Southern Living and wrote down the recipe-Thanks! Sometimes I enjoy just a warm cup of milk with honey or a spoonful of sugar…so many recipes, so little time!
