For anyone who lives somewhere with winter weather that equals below-freezing temps, it's no secret that plans move indoors once November hits. Backyard dinners, sidewalk-seated happy hours, and firing up the grill are swiftly replaced by the crackle of a fireplace, the metal clanging of a radiator, and the recurring backdrop of living rooms. By the time February rolls around, any frequent host has put their favorite cocktails, cold-weather recipes, and hosting essentials to good use.
