Give Me A Nudge! A Coffee Nudge On A Chilly Evening!
Favorite Restaurant Drink Recipe


No one in the southern states knew how to make a coffee nudge when I
tried ordering one while on a vacation. This drink is very popular in my
home state of Washington and elsewhere in the cooler climates of the
U.S.


A "Nudge" is one of my all-time favorite drinks when I want a
"warmer-upper." I like to add a little creme de cacao to my drink, but it
is optional.


Once or twice a week when I visit my elderly mother-in-law, she e
having a nudge with me about mid-afternoon. I think she enjoys the
drink as much as my company. ☺
