I enjoy a nice Soy Hot Chocolate. The butterscotch shot in the cocoa sounds yummy!!

Caramel in hot chocolate... two of my favorite flavors!

Have to try that.

Hot beverages I enjoy: chai lattes from Coffee Bean. They also have this horribly addicting Pomegranate Blueberry Tea latte. Oh. My. Gods.

Hot chocolate, of course. I like a lot of tea varieties; my tea shelf at home shows this. Not so much varieties of black or green tea, though I do have some of those, but a zillion herb teas.

Starbucks caramel apple cider is fabulous but be warned- it is pretty sweet. Cavity in a cup, anyone? Now I want one. The other thing that's pretty good there is a steamer. Hot steamed milk with a shot of flavor syrup- you can get pumpkin. Avoids the whole bitter coffee dilemma. The other thing I like is having cafe au lait- regular coffee (not espresso) with steamed milk, about half and half. You can get flavor shots in those, too.

Ice water.

I'm not a fan of hot liquids (from soup to tea to coffee I don't like them), though every once in a while I will have a hot chocolate. But no matter how cold it is, I am still most content with just plain water as cold as liquidly possible. My theory is that the reason cold feels cold is because of the differential between outer and inner temperature. So bring them in balance.
