We live in Texas and it doesn't often feel like winter during winter here. Mostly, winter is a series of cool fronts with lots of warm spells in between making for a challenging wardrobe dilemma - you've put away your short sleeves for the season in hopes of opportunities to layer(!), don sweaters and knee-high boots(!), but mostly you are digging out your summer tops again and again. It can drive a girl mad.
Lately, though, we are getting some consistently cold-ish temperatures, complete with a little snow(!) and grey, overcast skies. And with the beautiful orange and red leaves of the Red Oaks, we feel like winter is upon us...

I enjoyed two of these last night and can testify to how delicious they are! My new favorite drink.
