Winter is perfect. Sure, summer has it’s advantages. There are pool parties, driving with the windows down, and water-centric vacations. But winter has tall boots, chunky sweaters, seasonal lattes and big warm mugs of booze. You also have the added benefit of not having to worry about throwing on a tiny swimsuit at a moment’s notice. Then again, a few mugs of this and you may feel crazy enough to open the hot tub and dig out that bikini. It’s your call.
