Hot Holiday Beverages - Adults Only

Of course all the recipes featured in yesterday's post can be served to the adults (preferably spiked).  But today's roundup is about recipes you probably don't want to share with them.

Why keep the hot chocolate just for the kiddos?  This Vanilla Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Good Life Eats sounds like a perfectly sophisticated after dinner beverage for your holiday festivities.

The kitchn has a recipe for Coconut Eggnog, or Coquito!  Look how pretty this drink is - definitely party worthy!

If you have enough to worry about at the party, why not make these beverages in your slow cooker so they are ready whenever your guests are?  A Year of Slow Cooking has some great recipes to try:

Irish Cream Coffee

Hot Buttered Rum



Gingerbread Latte



Peppermint Hot Chocolate
(including a variation for Peppermint Mocha)

Finally, Alton Brown (one of my favorite celebrity chefs!) has some great recipes for Wassail or Egg Nog, if you would prefer the more adult beverages for your festivities!

We'd love to hear if you have a favorite recipe for a hot beverage!

Happy sipping!
