A friend told me about this one years ago. If you like hot chocolate, make a cup and add (to taste) some buttershots. (it's butterscotch schnapps) Or you can add peppermint or cinnamon flavored schnapps...warm and cozy. WARNING, it is sweet.
Good ole hot chocolate!
English breakfast Tea with a slice of lemon in it. Or whisky and lemon. Or the classic favourite Mulled wine!
Hot buttered rum -
hot spiced cider
warm milk and rum (or bourbon)
Hot chocolate with vodka, or with creme de cacao, or with amaretto
Hot Apple Cider. Add cinnamon to a cold mug of apple cider then put in microwave for 45 seconds. Heats me up right away!
If you like coffee, a very simple thing is to add a teaspoon or two of instant hot chocolate powder to it. Add some creamer for real comfort.
My REAL favorite from childhood was Russian Tea. My Gram used to make it. Yummo

hot cider, and to make it sassy if you want you can spike it with some apple brandy :)
I have a number of favorites during the chilly seasons. Mulled cider is yummy and it's a great time of year to visit the cider mills. All you have to do is heat up cider with any spices that float your boat - cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, orange peel... I throw cinnamon sticks and cloves in mine and a friend likes to add maple syrup. It makes the house smell good, too. I also like hot milk with honey, vanilla, and spices. It takes kind of like custard. Closer to Christmas, I sometimes put peppermint schnapps in my hot milk instead, or in homemade hot chocolate.
