Really, the name of this drink says it all and describes the feeling you have about it. I can only imagine someone creating this warm potion on a winter afternoon for a few friends. After sipping for a bit someone says, “that’s a nice warm drink.” And so, the drink may have gained its name. However it first went down, this is A Nice Warm Drink filled with favorite warming spices and flavors that will serve a small party.
