Winter Cocktail: a Brandy Alexander

Sometimes it is so cold and rainy/snowy/windy outside that I just want to sit by the fire and be able to have a drink.

Especially this one, which is a total throwback to my time in college, when I would order this when it was snowing outside and sip it at a bar of the White Dog, a college bar in Philadelphia, feeling very adult, as opposed ot the typical college-drink of a Midori sour:)

Brandy Alexander:

1 ounce Brandy (I also made it with Bourbon in a pinch)

1 1/2 ounces Amaretto

3 ounces cream

Pour everythign over ice, mix together. Strain if desired and sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on top. 

It's a dessert in a glass.

Any other wintertime libations I should try?

We don't have much of a "liquor cabinet" at home, mostly just wine, and scotch for my husband, so this was a big move into mixed drinks for me:)

Happy New Year!

2013 is off to a bang-up start, with our baby changing from 2 naps to 1 nap to 2 to crazy, but I just wanted to share my favorite moment of the last month, one more time, me in my wedding dress for an anniversary party!

It was crazy-fun, and after a few more weeks of parties, events, baking, cooking, drinking and eating, I'm SO happy we did the event at the beginning of December, not the end!

I'll be back tomorrow with my favorite holiday drink and a more normal posting schedule:)
