Back in December 2010 I posted two drink recipes:
Carmela Soprano's Candy Cane Martini and Carmela Soprano's Spiked Egg Nog.
Both drinks have a bit of alcohol in them.
Both posts have remained popular over the years.
About a week ago I posted the recipe for Anna Sultana's Mulled Wine.
It is also a drink with a bit of alcohol in it.
This post is also becoming popular.
Okay… I can take a hint.
You folks aren't teetotalers.
You'd like a few more alcoholic drinks, especially for the winter holiday season.
No problem.
Carmela's book had a few alcoholic drink recipes I didn't get around to posting.
I must correct that mistake.
Yes, it is time to enjoy the other drink recipes that are in the Holidays chapter in Entertaining with The Sopranos.
Let's see…
Along with the Spiked Egg Nog recipe there was a recipe for Spiked Hot Chocolate.
Yes, Spiked means it is not for the kids.
If the kids start guilting you, make some Mulled Apple Cider for them.
Spiked Hot Chocolate

In the top part of a double boiler melt
1/2 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Into a small saucepan pour
