Beverages - Libations, Potions, and Nutritious Liquid Notions

As Woody Allen said, "Man does not live by bread alone, frequently there must be beverages," and this is the place to find beverages of all sorts from festive to healthy.
Sangria: Cool Libations
I developed this recipe for sangria over many years. It's not too sweet, has a lot of citrus flavor, and sparkles just enough.
Hot Buttered Rum and Cider
Hot Buttered Cider and Rum is one of my favorite winter drinks. A cross between mulled cider and hot buttered rum. There's nothing better than sitting in front of a fire sipping a mug as the snow billows down.
Sunrise Smoothies
Sunrise Smoothies are a delicious liquid breakfast sweetened with dates, honey, and bananas.
Mulling Mix
Add this wonderful mix of sugar and spices to apple cider or wine for a delicious hot winter beverage recipe.
Amaretto Iced Smoothie
You wouldn't think of making a milkshake for a cocktail, but it works when you mix Amaretto with espresso and ice cream.
Hot Peppermint Patty
You have got to love spiked hot chocolate and this is one of the best recipes out there for it. Peppermint schnapps and crème de menthe add that minty snap to this intensely chocolate warm drink.
