Thoughts on Hot Seasonal Beverages!
Jeff Wrangler:
Bailey's ...
Once upon a time I had a bartender who would make me what he called a Cherry Chocolate Soda. It was Bailey's, Amaretto, and Kahlua.
Not exactly a hot seasonal beverage, but, boy, was it good! :D

Well I have never heard of posset - so it cant be that popular in Scotland - but it sounds kinda nice.
I stumbled on my love for mulled wine last xmas but will definitely be having more of it now!!
And I like some of the ideas suggested here . Your one amanda sounds good but a little complicated. i think I'll got for the wassail simple version (althought he whole gallon thing confuses me - whats it in litres I wonder!)

Katherine - me and you are on the same wavelength here.. there was a minty version of it out here last year which would solve amadas there is no mint on this list dilema!
The one thing I treat myself to at this time of year is the starbuck xmas coffees!! Just had the gingerbread one!

Hi Kelda!
That's interesting that you've never heard of posset. I was actually hoping you might chime in on that subject. So, I guess it really is a pretty rare beverage.
I guess that the gallon or 1.5 gallons recipe for wassail is probably really meant for a big party where you'd have a lot on hand for a big crowd.
I just looked up a converter and it seems that 1 gallon = 3.79 liters.
The Starbucks holiday coffees are really good! I completely agree. It's always hard for me to decide if I like the gingerbread or the pumpkin flavor lattes better.
cheers!
:)

I think what you need, Amanda, is a Peppermint Paddy...
To one mug of hot chocolate, add 2 oz. of peppermint schnapps. Top with whipped cream. Enjoy!
