January 11th is National Milk Day AND National Hot Toddy Day. Who says we can’t celebrate both with one drink!! One of my favorite après-ski Hot Toddies is hot cocoa with a shot of Rumple Minze and fresh whipped cream!

Last summer while at the local Peoples Market, I visited a booth that sold bitters made locally, Bear Root Bitters. I have several of their varieties but the Habanero Ginger is my favorite and I wanted to find a cocktail to fit it into.
