Full class description for Alcoholic Winter Drinks Skillshare:

Who can hate on winter, when the short cold days and long colder nights
make for a perfect excuse to hunker down at home, have a bunch of friends
over, and pass around a nice steaming cup of cheer, in whatever form that
may take! In addition to the cold but well-known eggnog and its
lesser-known cousin syllabub, various cultures around the world have all
developed different takes on hot and robust beverages, including mulled
wine (like Gl?gg from Scandinavia or Gl?hwein from Germany), hot cider or
wassail, spiked hot chocolate, etc.; even more obscure (in these parts at
least) concoctions such as a drinkable beer custard called Yard of
Flannel, and from Peru a ground-quinoa-based drink spiked with rum or
brandy.

What traditional winter drinks have you and your friends/family passed
down over the years, or even just invented yourself? Ever been intimidated
by the thought of making your own eggnog? Or, have a favorite eggnog or
gl?gg recipe you've perfected? Get together with other folks for a
fabulous and festive skillshare where we'll swap recipes, and even the
stories behind them. Just in time for anyone who was planning a Winter
Solstice party for the next day! And, as a special treat, at the end of
the class time, we'll pool our collective folk-knowledge to be put into a
zine that we
can later distribute to our friends!
