The Nostalgia of Snowy Days and Spiked Hot Chocolate

What spirits go best with chocolate in winter?

If you believe the early weather reports, our first snow storm of the year will hit the northeast this weekend. I’m actually hoping for at least one chilly, snowed-in weekend in 2024. Last year, when it was so warm that we got less than an inch of snow, there was almost no opportunity to make one of my favorite wintertime cocktails: spiked hot chocolate.
