I'm feeling rather, how do you say, Jean Gabin...

"Gabin’s appeal, like that of Bogart, his American counterpart, relies on a quiet, unpretentious toughness, an unassailable integrity, a cynical – but not nasty – sense of humor and a classy, nonjudgmental wisdom about people and the ways of the world." - from Egyptian Theatre

And his name also carries with it a friggin awesome hot cocktail recipe. 

1 1/2 oz dark rum
3/4 oz Calvados® brandy
1 tbsp maple syrup
5 oz hot milk
1 pinch nutmeg

Heat rum, Calvados and syrup in a heat-resistant glass or cup. Fill with hot milk, sprinkle with nutmeg, and serve.

I like this recipe, because, unlike all the other hot cocktail recipes out there, it doesn't have caffeine in it. Pretty much everything else out there has tea, coffee or hot chocolate in it. YUM! Next time I make this maybe I'll snuggle it up with a Jean Gabin film?
