Toast to the Holidays from Tumblers Plus: Cozy Winter Drink Recipes to Keep You Merry

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Holiday cheer, peace on earth, and good sales everywhere you go!

For much of the U.S., the holiday season brings along with it, much, MUCH colder weather.

The great news is, if you have one of our amazing tumblers, your favorite holiday beverages don’t ever have to catch cold!

Here are two of our favorite recipes for toasty beverages on cold winter evenings!

Peppermint Schnapps Hot Cocoa

Ingredients:

• Hot Cocoa Mix – We recommend the extra large Swiss Miss tub from Sam’s club… We drink a lot of this during the holidays!
• Milk (you could use water… but we’re not making this for our health!)
• Whipped Cream (We prefer Reddi Whip)
• Peppermint Candy Cane
• A Bottle of Peppermint Schnapps (the better quality, the better the cocoa)
• White Chocolate Liqueur
• Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
• Our Hot Chocolate tumbler (to keep it warm for hours… not that it’ll last that long!)

Directions

1. In a microwave safe mug or liquid measuring cup, heat 8 oz of milk until it reaches desired temperature
2. While that is heating, put 4 tablespoons of your hot cocoa mix into your tumbler
3. When the milk is hot, pour into the tumbler and thoroughly mix, 1 minute
4. Mix in 1.5oz of Peppermint Schnapps
5. For extra chocolate goodness and holiday cheer, also mix in 1oz of White Chocolate Liqueur
6. Top with whipped cream
7. Drop in 1 whole peppermint candy cane or hook on the outside of the tumbler
8. Lightly drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the whipped cream

Hot & Hard Spiced Apple Cider

Ingredients:

• 1 Gallon unfiltered apple cider
• 1 large orange, cut into 1/4″ in slices
• 3 Cinnamon Sticks
• 4 Star Anise
• 1 tbsp Whole Cloves

Directions

Note: This recipe is for sharing… Drink responsibly!

1. To a large 10 qt dutch oven, add apple cider, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, whole cloves, whole allspice and ginger root. (A spice ball can be used to make clean up much easier!)
2. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cover for 2-3 hours.
3. Add rum to the apple cider mixture.
4. Remove fruit and spices from the pot.
5. Enjoy!

Bonus!!

• To make this recipe even easier, you can also make it in the crockpot!
• Simply add all the ingredients (except rum) to the crock pot.
• Turn Crock Pot to LOW and cook for 2-3 hours.
• Add rum then serve.

We hope these recipes bring you some holiday cheer and merry gatherings. Remember to drink responsibly and have a wonderful holiday season!
