Unfortunately this will probably be the most snow that we'll get in one day. So in honour of winter and all her beauty, I give you a recipe for cockle-juice. Named so because it warms the cockles of your heart, not the danglebit in your pants.

1 pot hot tea, Orange Pekoe is my favourite.
30cm sliced ginger
2-3 lemons.
Whiskey or scotch to taste.

Let it steep, but not too long, this stuff is great hot and not at all good cold. If it is too bitter, honey is the cure.

Anyone else have any good hot booze recipes? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2334#Comment_2334 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2334#Comment_2334 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:59:12 -0800 warrenellis Gluewein. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2335#Comment_2335 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2335#Comment_2335 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:59:31 -0800 JaredRules http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2336#Comment_2336 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2336#Comment_2336 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:59:58 -0800 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2339#Comment_2339 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2339#Comment_2339 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:05:17 -0800 Swift Benjamin

I've never really been a mead fan, but the only stuff I've had was made in Montana. Not exactly authentic mead country.

And here's what I drink on a snowy early December evening:

Muddled Christmas Mead

One bottle dry mead (some people prefer sweet mead for this recipe, so whatever floats your boat)

Half cinnamon stick

2 cloves

Pinch nutmeg

Heat mead (do not boil), add spices, let steep approx. 10 min. Serve hot. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2436#Comment_2436 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2436#Comment_2436 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:05:56 -0800 Fractal http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2457#Comment_2457 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2457#Comment_2457 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:10:54 -0800 pygmy
Me, I like Abuelita (mexican hot chocolate drink with lots of cinnamon) with a little orange liquer or Bailey's or Frangelico or whatever's around, really.

Guinness purists will probably string me up for this one, but I really like to make kind of a shandy with Guinness and Reed's Extra Spicy Ginger Beer. It has to be Reed's, though, no wimpy ginger ale. The nuttiness of the Guinness and the ginger go really well together, and the Reed's cuts the ...thickness of the Guinness (which I like, but can never drink more than half of one before I feel all bloaty). ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2462#Comment_2462 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2462#Comment_2462 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:42:19 -0800 turing Mulled Wine recipe in the other thread. It's basically the same idea as Gluhwein, but in a big pot with fruit in. And (the way I usually make it) brandy too.

Every single time I've come across a hot wine drink the recipe has been different, it seems to be one of those things everyone likes different. But it's hard to fuck it up, as long as you follow the basic formula of wine + sugar + spices + fire-for-make-drink-hot-yum. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2506#Comment_2506 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2506#Comment_2506 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:36:30 -0800 Fauxhammer http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2531#Comment_2531 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2531#Comment_2531 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 09:24:13 -0800 ravnos http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2536#Comment_2536 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2536#Comment_2536 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 09:40:25 -0800 Malsain A medium bodied cheapish wine is just great! I go for bottles around the £3.00 mark, because it's pretty much the bottom note of a warmth and spices vessel. Something like a merlot, maybe?
And mulled wine really is a personal tastes thing :) Unlike turing, I don't use sugar, but a base of red wine, orange juice and alcoholic cider (to taste, with a majority of red wine) which gives a sweet and citrusy note, without being too sugary :) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2538#Comment_2538 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2538#Comment_2538 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 09:49:36 -0800 ravnos http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2549#Comment_2549 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2549#Comment_2549 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 10:22:46 -0800 kristinag Winter special thingies:

Mumma 2 Liters (I don't do gallons), or 6-10 tall glasses.

2 bottles of beer, 33 centiliters Heineken.
1 - 2 deciliters of Port or Madeira wine
1 bottle of soda (the big bottles) 7-up or Sprite will do, though not the kind that taste like Lemon.
3x33 centiliter bottles of dark beer, though not Guiness. 3x33 centiliter bottles.
Lemon peel or orange peels.
Mix all in a large canister, sprinkle orange or lemon peel on top. See foam.

Saffronschnapps (takes a few weeks to produce)
1 package of saffron in powderform.
1 vanilla stick.
honey
Vodka, or other similar clear spirits, though not with any added tastes like blackcurrant.

Put the saffron in a glass jar(that has a lid) and add a small bit of vodka/what have you so that the drink turns
orange.
Cut up the vanilla stick and get rid of the seeds. Put this in the glass jar. Let this stand for about 2 weeks.

Sift everything through a coffee filter to get rid of the grainy stuff and mix with more vodka until the taste is
good (taste is relative, mix away). Boil and add honey.
Let stand for another week and sift again.
Read to drink when it has a clear yellow colour.

:D ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2552#Comment_2552 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2552#Comment_2552 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 10:40:54 -0800 Wendalyn

Got any good recipes?

Shirley's Nutbrown is pretty damned tasty.

I've always wondered if making a dark dubbel would be worth it. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2775#Comment_2775 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2775#Comment_2775 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 18:12:40 -0800 Fauxhammer

1) Bourbon Furnace:
1 cup hot apple cider
a few whole cloves
double-shot of bourbon
a pinch of ground chipotle
a cinnamon stick (or, put a ground dash of that it in too!)

Fire it up!

2) Lambwool Wassail, the old-fashioned way! I've also used a good mead in place of the wine and it gives you a lovely buzz, very cozy.

3) A big glass of Bowmore 17 or Laphroaig Cask Strength, neat, near a blazing fire. This one is usually the most satisfying. . . . ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2828#Comment_2828 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2828#Comment_2828 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 19:32:44 -0800 erudite_ogre
Yessss. . . the port is gooood! Particularly when you are not in the mood to throw peaty firewater down your throat! Sometimes I like it straight up, sometimes as a Broken Spur (some sweet vermouth and triple sec added in). It mulls nicely too; I find it more pleasant to drink in this season than mere wine! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2940#Comment_2940 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=89&Focus=2940#Comment_2940 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 22:29:59 -0800 ravnos Have you tried the Laphroaig Quarter Cask single single? It's... rather good for a lack of brain activity to come up with something better to say. ]]>
