Christmas Eve Warm-up

Christmas Eve Warm-up

Dec 24th 2007, 10:31am By Christa Glennie Seychew

It's Christmas Eve, folks. Time for the serious festivities (and the in-law inspired drinking) to begin. With that in mind, we've compiled a hefty list of warm beverage recipes from our archives sure to warm your nose and toes. All of them have a holiday feel; some are ideal for taking along (perhaps, again, to the in-laws'), others are more conducive to an at-home celebration.

So get out there while the liquor stores are still open and grab the makings for an extra jolly holiday. And, please remember to make smart choices about operating a vehicle (or sleigh) while under the influence. (See post by Glenn Murray.)

Merry Christmas!

    Just watch out for pre-made Gluhwein, the Carrignan grape just ain't worth mulling over.

  • Gimme a (coffee) break

    Story Image With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town! The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

  • Sea Bar-City

    Story Image It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness. Sea B …
