I’ve talked about this before, but to me, cocktails are just as seasonal as food. Fall and winter are all about the whisky in our house, and also . . . White Russians. I’m not sure WHY they seem like a winter drink to me, but they just do. The creamy, almost dessert-like combo of milk, vodka and coffee liqueur is so comforting.

It’s kind of like winter’s version of an ice cream cone or something. Plus booze. I don’t know where I’m going with this. It probably only makes sense in my head, but my position is that White Russians are a cocktail and dessert wrapped up in one magical glass. You with me on this?

I’m still at a loss for words when describing what a hazelnut tastes like. I honestly hadn’t tried a hazelnut (or anything hazelnut-flavored) until a few years ago, so it’s still a pretty new flavor profile to me.

When I Google “what does a hazelnut taste like?,” all I can find is that hazelnuts have a “delicate nutty flavor.” Gee, thanks. Personally, I think hazelnuts have a sweet, almost fruit-like quality with some nuttiness as well.
