MULLED WINE
Look you are gonna get people who say use a dry french wine when you make mulled wine. I say like Sangria anything you have in the Red Wine department is gonna work and if you use a cheap bottle then just throw in more spice and no one will be the wise. Not even, Melchior and he was the pickiest of the 3 wise men.
In a pot
- bottle of red wine
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- 8 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 5 cardamom pods
- 2 star anise
- 5 tablespoons sugar, (honey, or maple syrup will do nicely too)
- 1/4 cup brandy (or dark rum)
Let this holiday elixir simmer as long as you can. If you can't wait 20 mins will do, if you can 4 hours will make it a blessed experience. Then take a wedge of orange and jam 3 cloves into it and garnish the glass you serve it in with that, Forget the cinnamon stick in the glass, you don't need to poke anyone's eye out with this holiday drink.
PANETTONE
What can I say about this Christmas Sweet Bread? If you don't like raisins or candied fruit, I say get over yourself. This is a centuries old Christmas bread, learn to love it. Take a slab and dip it in your latte for .5 sec and then slurp up the soggy bread which has soaked up your coffee. Slice whatever Panettone you don't finish and make French Toast with it. I would call it Milanese Toast out of respect of it's origins. But that's me.

CRANBERRY SOUR
Ok so your Christmas dinner was a hit but you got left over cranberries all kinds. What you gonna do? Well if they are actual cranberries and not the gelatinous mess from a can, you can use it in a great post-holiday left-over drink and still be the Champ of the Holidays.
- In a cocktail shaker add ice
- 1.5 oz of Amaretto
- .5 oz of cointreau or triple sec or grandmarnier
- 1oz of OJ
- 1oz of Cranberry
- 0.5 oz of lime juice (more if you like it more sour)
- 0.5 oz of maple syrup if you have it, otherwise any liquid sugar like a simple syrup will do.
- Shake it up, pour over ice. If you have frozen cranberry throw some of those in. Mint always dresses this cocktail up too.
Drink it like the end of the year is coming.
EMPANADAS
It's like a pizza pocket with a South American twist.
