What to Drink on a Cold Winter Evening

Can I tell you a secret???

Albania is home to THE BEST WINTER DRINK in the whole world!!!

We had it first one chilly day last spring at a local bar/cafe/restaurant (no it isn't a hotel surprisingly!). The bartender called it a "Ray Charles"- who know why!?!

All you need is the best homemade Albanian Raki, a spoonful of yummy honey, a dash or two of cinnamon and a pot to heat it in. Gently warm it up, but don't boil it. Then serve it in a cute little shot glass! It's divine and soooooooooooooo easy to drink on a cold winter evening.

In fact, I think I'm going to go prepare a small pot of it right now (there was ice on the ground this morning).

A better name for it would be Albanian Comfort

Hmmm, so was there still ice on the ground and was it still morning when you whipped up your yummy raki drink?
