I’m not a cold-weather person. Something about freezing my ass off to the point of being able to register my nipples as deadly weapons doesn’t sit right with me. I mean, when the temperature dips below 70, I’m digging the parka and fur boots out of my closet.
If you feel the same way I do every time winter rears its ugly head, you’ll need a little something to take the edge off. So here’s a boozy seasonal drink that I like to call the Horny Snowman. I’m not too sure why I’ve named it that — perhaps that’s up to you to decide.
Anyways, if you down enough of these guys, you might just forget that the wind stings your face every time you step outside into the bullshit winter air.
The Horny Snowman Recipe
Items Needed:
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee
- 1 shot Irish cream liqueur
- 1 shot coffee liqueur
- 3 marshmallows
- 3 tiny pretzel sticks
Preparation:
- Brew your choice of coffee and fill a mug three-quarters full.
- Dump in your shots of Irish cream liqueur and coffee liqueur.
- Stir your delicious concoction.
- Create a tiny snowman by stacking the three marshmallows onto one of the pretzel sticks. Use the remaining two pretzel sticks to create the arms.
- Place your tiny snowman in your boozy coffee.
Enjoy!
