It’s getting to be that time of year again.
We’re not big drinkers here at WildSnow.com and certainly do not encourage imbibing while on skis in the backcountry. But once back at the hut, it’s quite nice to warm your core with a little schnapps. With Thanksgiving around the corner, here’s a recipe from Patricia Dawson, the matriarch of our mountain clan.
The nog is super tasty but comes with quite a kick. Be careful not to quaff it down. I recommend serving it in espresso cups.
