Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
New Year's Eve, coming right in the middle of winter (for most of us) as well as in the middle of the night, is not always the warmest occasion. There is the body heat of standing in Times Square with thousands upon thousands of other people, but there's no denying the fact that near freezing temperatures and a combination of rain and snow are less than pleasant to be out in. A warm drink is perfectly suited for the occasion. In fact, this combination of peppermint and hot chocolate is warming, chocolatey and almost refreshing. If you don't want to use schnapps, add about a half teaspoon of peppermint extract. Don't forget a peppermint stick or candy cane as garnish and a marshmallow or two!
Peppermint Spiked Hot Chocolate
6-8 ounces hot chocolate
1 1/2 ounces peppermint schnapps
peppermint stick
marshmallows
Prepare hot chocolate according to directions. Add peppermint schnapps and stir with a peppermint stick. Add marshmallows, to taste, before drinking.
Serves 1.

Of course the hot chocolate was from Dunkin donuts or Brigham's and we had to forego the marshmallows and peppermint stick, but still a very fond memory. Thanx for giving this wonderful winter drink wider press.
