Dry January or not, unless I have guests over, I rarely drink at home. Even then, many of my acquaintances (in keeping with national trends) choose not to drink at all. But it’s nice to be able to offer something a little special, or sip a beverage that demarcates the end of a work day.

Everybody loves a winter cocktail but depending on what side of the country you’re in, drinking pleasures might be opposites. On the West Coast, you may have to trek for hours up to the mountains to find some semblance of a white winter wonderland. SoCal and NorCal, for example, tend to have sun-filed winters so you will rarely be in the mood for a hot toddy of some sort.
