Over the weekend about a foot of snow was dumped on St. Louis
and its environs. I live in the environs. I never mind a good snowfall,
particularly when warm days are ahead, and it won’t be around for long. I love
to curl up by the fire and watch those big, fat flakes, swirl to the ground,
read a good book, binge-watch my favorite British television programs, and
hunker down until spring.
This morning I declared that I am officially in “storm mode.” I ran out of milk, so had to put Bailey’s in my coffee. Because I generally drink 4 cups of coffee in the morning, I mentioned to my sons that one of them should come over later to pick me up off of the floor. If not that, then at least throw a blanket over me.

This, of course, got me to thinking about warm coffee drinks, so this afternoon I dug around in my recipe stash until I found one that sounded particularly tasty. It’s called a Nose Warmer — most appropriate for this cold weather — and I am enjoying it by the fire.
Nose Warmer
1/4 oz. Kahlúa
1/4 oz. Bailey's
1/4 oz. Grand Marnier
1/4 oz. Frangelica
1/4 oz. dark crème de cacao
Add the liqueurs to the coffee, top with whipped cream and
garnish with cinnamon or cinnamon-rim
the cup (if you're feeling energetic).
Serves 1
Another favorite winter warmer is Sweater Weather Swirl. You might want to give this a try as well, providing you have
no place to go.
