Some Winter Evening Drinks

Midnight Chocolate Milk--and yet it is neither chocolate, nor milk...

1 part Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
3 parts Vanilla Silk soy milk (yes, I do tend to keep several cartons on hand at all times)

Combine in your largest coffee mug. (Mine is enormous and features a picture of Minnie Mouse sunning herself at the beach.) Works best if you layer in the chocolate first, then add the milk. No stirring should be necessary.

Sauce for the Goose:

1 shot Stoli Vanil
6 oz Vanilla Silk Soy Milk

Combine in a coffee mug. Enjoy before bedtime.

Sauce for the Gander:

1 generous jigger Bacardi white rum
4 oz reduced-fat egg nog
Healthy shake of nutmeg

Combine in a short juice glass. Stir to mix in the nutmeg. Have wife taste to ensure the proper rum-nog balance. Don't let her finish it before you get a taste too.
