My friend and I we...mmmmmnnn... chocolatetinis!! <br /><br />My friend and I went to a chi chi steakhouse and had a couple of ten dollar martinis... she had the pomagranate one and I had one that had ginger ale and poire williams (pear liquoir). The poor woman's version of this martini is Canada Dry diet ginger ale and apple-flavored vodka... very tasty and refreshing at the end of the day!Kellyann Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885203487094654761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-54210477167918694472009-12-07T20:43:53.256-05:002009-12-07T20:43:53.256-05:00Whiskey.

I usually stick with stout or red wine, but also like a nice single malt Scotch on occasion.<br /><br />As a kid, I liked to make hot cocoa with triple the normal amount of the Swiss Miss mix.

When I was a kid, I'd even scoop a helping of Nestle's Quick from the can and eat it dry. My brother was more of an aerosol-whipped-cream-shot-straight-into-the-mouth kind of kid. Both drove my mother nuts. <br /><br />Hey, anyone remember Bosco?Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-47542919951192472022009-12-03T13:40:30.618-05:002009-12-03T13:40:30.618-05:00Alan, I remember Hershey's syrup in the metal ...Alan, I remember Hershey's syrup in the metal can!
