Speaking of Lightweights (spiced wine)

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Okay. I'm drunk as fucking priest right now. Serioiusldyj. Listen. I had two small glasses of merlot, so I can't explain this. I'm a lightweight, but this is just...stupid.

But let me tell you something I got to tell you how I made this spiced wine a little while ago.

I told the husband to get some burgundy, but he came back with merlot. so I used that.

I put abpout two cups in the carafe and heated it. Then I added:

a pinch of unsweetened cocoa powder (good quality)(
a pinch of black pepper
pinch of red cayenne pepper flakes
some allspice
some coriander
a bayleaf
some grated nutmeg
a dollop of sugar free white chocolate Torani syrup
A dollp of sugar free french vanilla Torani syrup
a small capful of Triple Sec
A cinnamon stick
a pinch of ground ginger
some raisins

Oh, yheah, baby. I been cold all frigging day. It's been freezing all day long down here and it sucks.

I"m warm now, lemme tell ya.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

No, no. I got to sober up. I just went and took a shower trying to straighten myself up and I'm still all dizzy.

Damn!

I so wish you would have had a video with this. I'm just imagining how your voice sounded

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, man. Yeah, the husband came in and was like, "What are you doing? Do not post if you are drunk!"

I don't know how I sound, but my friends say I walk like Jack Sparrow when I'm drunk. Only my head does not bob, just the rest of me.

No clue why that hit me so hard last night. It was like I was on a bender, but I'd only had two small cups of the stuff. And on a full stomach, no less.

I am a total lightweight, but that was a bit much even for me.

If you're too lazy to make your own...

Try the wine from Brotherhood Winery (NYS) called "Holiday". It tastes like what you concocted from scratch, but without having to raid your spice rack.

I try not to post when I'm sober

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Serioiusldyj

Aw, now you're just picking on me.

[XCashier]

Did you save some for the rest of us?!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

If I had, maybe I would not have gotten so messed up.

[RavenStarr]

Aw, now you're just picking on me.

Someone had to
