Have you ever tried Italian hot chocolate? It’s the best hot chocolate in the word! This my favorite drink when it’s cold and rainy outside….a thick, rich and creamy hot chocolate, halfway between a drink and a spoon dessert.

A few years ago now (and maybe a few more) when I proposed to my wife I decided that I should source a really good French Champagne and make sure that my wife was thoroughly enjoying it before proposing.

This mulled wine is probably the coziest cocktail in the world. Thanks to fresh orange juice and zest, and a tiny bit of honey, it’s fruity without being cloyingly sweet, and the combination of spices are guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out.
