This past weekend I was out for a drink with two of the best friends anyone could ask for.
I tend to change my drinks with the season. Spring brings a nice crisp Pino Gris, summertime spells Mojitos and fall ushers in a full-bodied Shiraz. But when the air gets a chill and the white stuff starts falling from the heavens, I have only one thought on my mind ... hot chocolate with Baileys. And whipped cream. Because everything is more fun with whipped cream. Heh.
My winter beverage of choice warms your bones and satisfies your sweet tooth in one delicious cup.
Perfection.
Baileys with a "Hint of Caramel". Caramel.
I realize that this has probably been around for eleventy hundred years, demonstrating I don't spend nearly enough time skulking around my local liquor store. But stumbling on this sweet find made my day. My week. Well, quite frankly, this made my season.
Off to light a fire and wrap my hands around a big mug of hot chocolate with Caramel Baileys. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm ..... wanna join me?
oh boy do I ever! scootch over, I'm comin'!

And this may be a totally Canadian thing, but my SIL makes tea with a shot of Bailey's (must tell her about the caramel!!) for Christmas morning - ohmygod good.

Can I come too? I'll bring some Godet liqueur. (Have you tried this? Heaven.)

I haven't tried that one yet! My dad brought over the chocolate mint Bailey's and I haven't cracked it yet. SOON!

As they say, you are what you drink... That makes you the sweetest!
It sounds like a lovely beverage to accompany your Birthday chocolate!!! Every happiness to you. xo

yum...that sounds delish...
or it would if I didn't have such a bad hang-over this morning.
Now I know why I rarely drink these days.
6 a.m wake ups by chipper 3 year olds and three martinis the night before really don't go so well together.
