Alcoholic Winter Warmer recipes...

[Bowlander]

Am I the only one thinking that alcohol and cold weather are a bad combination?

Not at all, if you add guns to the mix its even worse!!

Mulled wine?
pi did have a recipes for a hot southern comfort drink but I can't remember it off hand. It was along the lines of hot apple juice with SoCo and a cinnamon stick. Probably not too shabby with some cranberry juice in there too.


Just do what we did last winter and have a pint ............ Of hot chocolate.

Sounded great until the last sentence

Try Bananas Foster then; it's flambeed in rum: www.brennansneworleans.com/t_bananasfoster.html

For something to drink rather than eat, try Hot Buttered Rum. Here's a recipe from Emerald Legassi:

[h=2]Ingredients[/h]

• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• Pinch ground cloves
• Pinch salt
• Bottle dark rum
• Boiling water

[h=2]Directions[/h] In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Refrigerate until almost firm. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs. Pour about 3 ounces of rum into each mug (filling about halfway). Top with boiling water (to fill the remaining half), stir well, and serve immediately

A Hawaiian version of Irish coffee; just substitute Kahlua instead of whiskey.

Whiskey mac.
Thumb of whiskey, thumb of green ginger wine. Warms you from the inside out.

Raisin brandy.
Fill a two thirds empty bottle of brandy with raisins until full. Shove in a cinnamon stick and a clove. Leave for a week. Strain and squeeze the juice out the raisins (these are now great with ice cream) what you have left tastes like Christmas pud. Om nom nom.

Harvestman special
Take some hot water. That's it.

Finnish winter soup:
Take one bowl, ad 1 litre of vodka and then ad two rasins.
If you don't like fruit, forget the rasins....

Norwegian "karsk": Put a penny in the bottom of a cup. Pour strong hot coffee in the cup til the penny dissapears. Then pour moonshine in the cup til the penny are visible again.
The moonshine have to be at least 94% alc....
In some parts of Norway they also ad some sugar, but I wouldn't recomend it...

When my grandfather had a cold he always drank this: 1 cup of hot water, 1 teaspoon honey, the juice from one half lemon and a good portion moonshine.

Foodwise it's got to be steak and ale pie, a big Desperate Dan style pie made with a pint of Hobgoblin. Drinks wise port and brandy mixed in equal measures does the trick. It's also very good for settling an upset tummy and according to the missus it's good for period pains too. Can't drink whiskey anymore, think I overdid it with Jack Daniel in my younger days and now I just feel sick whenever I drink it

Hmm

I did the same thing, took me 15 years to get over it [even just smelling whisky and I was yaking up everywhere], but now a nice malt is quite pleasurable. I think the mistake was drinking sh*! stuff to start with

My missus quite likes port and brandy.

Also start the christmas cake really early and feed with loads of brandy - [last year we managed to get around 2 litres into one cake also some of the ice cream didn't set properly becasue of high alcohol content - still tastey though]

Tin foil wrapped banana slit open with chocolate in it molten on the barbecue. Trust me! Only no alcohol

I do it with caburies Old Jamaica chocolate. Rum and raisin flavour. A splash of whisky helps things along too

If you can wait until spring then I'd recommend Beech Leaf Noyau. I tend to make Sloe Gin in the winter and Noyau in the Spring - exactly 6 months apart - so one dovetails with the other. Keep this recipe and use it in the spring

This is an old English take on those herb-infused continental concoctions – but every bit as good.

Young, fresh beech leaves – stripped from the twig/stem
700ml (bottle) Gin
400ml (approx) of beech leaves
225g of white sugar
200ml brandy
300ml water

Put beech leaves and gin in a jar and leave for 3-4 weeks – secure lid.

Strain off after 3-4 weeks

In pan boil the water and dissolve the sugar.

Let it cool.

Add the infused, strained gin and the brandy.

Bottle it (should make two bottles of the stuff)

Leave for as long as you can to let the spirits meld.

Forget the sambuca….bring out the noyau…
