Vin Chaud a la Canel
Vin Chaud a la Canel is what you drink when in Paris, translation: warm wine with cinnamon. In America we call this libation Mulled Wine. What a perfect cold weather warm up and you make it ahead to serve whenever the mood strikes.

1 orange, peel zesty skin with a vegetable peeler
3 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
2Tbl. sugar
Rich red wine (Cabernet, Petit Syrah, Zinfandel)
Pour apple cider into a sauce pan that does not have a non-stick lining. Add all spices and orange zest. Heat on medium until liquid just begins to boil and remove from heat. When liquid is completely cooled pour all contents including spices and zest back into apple cider container and seal. Allow to steep for at least 24 hours, 48 hours is better.
When ready to drink heat 1 part wine to 2 parts spiced apple cider and take that chill off.

Jello Shots
1 3-oz. package Lemon Jello
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup good quality Lemon Vodka, I like Hangar One
1/4 cup cold water
Cut each lemon in half and hollow out down to the white pitch taking extra care not to puncture the skin. Place the halves in a muffin pan or large tray filled with rice or dry beans to keep them upright and level for filling. Chill in refrigerator while making Jello filling.
Make the Jello according to the package directions, except in place of the cup of cold water, substitute 3/4 cup of Lemon Vodka, along with 1/4 cups of cold water. Transfer to container with a pouring spout to make for easier filling. Fill each lemon half and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the Jello is completely set, use a sharp knife to slice into wedges and serve.
Enjoy Responsibly With Friends!
