What happens when you mix hot coffee, milk, bourbon and Marshmallow Fluff? You get The Dirty Santa cocktail (hey, we don’t name them!).

Given the number of people who love a good cup of coffee, this could be a holiday hit.

The drink is on the menu of Joe and Misses Doe, a casual restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village.

EDITOR’S NOTE

We have a responsibility to maintain the accuracy of the English language, even if few other people seem to care about it. So Joe: It’s not Misses Doe, it’s Missus Doe.

Misses are what happens when you fail to hit the ball, or overlook opportunities.

Missus, or the missus, is the informal term of address for a wife.
