A Hot Blond

A Hot Blond

I've been slacking lately. I'm sick of winter, tired of the cold and the snow. Heating bills are scarier than usual. Enough already! It's enough to stress me out.

Needless to say, I've not been sleeping well lately. Now when I have a cold I like a Hot Toddy. But when I'm trying to get some sleep, there is just nothing as relaxing as a Hot Blond.

I like a Hot Blond just before bed.

Hot Blond
1 cup piping hot chamomile tea
1 spoonful of raw honey
The juice of half a lemon (I'm loving Meyer Lemons right now!)
A healthy slug of vodka, an ounce or two

This is so tasty. It is easy to drink and, like a Hot Toddy, can be excused as medicinal should you need an excuse. It does induce sleepiness and is wonderful for lulling ones mind.

But what if a Hot Blond doesn't do it for you. Consider Liquid Valium.

Liquid Valium
1 cup steaming hot Ovaltine, made with whole milk.
A shot of Kaluha and a shot of Meyers Dark Rum.


These are my winter snuggled-in-bed-at-7pm-cause-it-is-so-damn-cold-out drinks.

I do like them, but I'm really ready for the spring menu......
