Back in April, I had my first recipe contest. My good friend Avril won, and I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I haven't actually tried the recipe yet. It's mainly due to the fact that I want to cook it and have Avril and her husband over for dinner, and our schedules are all absolutely batshit insane. If the opportunity presents itself, I will do it.

Here's the second contest, inspired by my girlfriend who has caught a nasty cold and feels like a bucket of monkey poo. I wanted to make a warm, relaxing drink for her, but I was tired of the usual: Irish Coffee, peppermint schnapps in hot chocolate, apple cider with rum, etc. I went with a new recipe I concocted, but wanted some additional ideas. I'm looking for some great winter drink recipes, alcoholic or non-alcoholic (although I think we all know which ones I'll favor the most.) I'll leave this up until Friday, normal posting schedule will resume next week.

Bring it, kids, I know you have it in you (I'm looking at you, Dr. Joel.)

JT out.
