Hot Buttered Rum

The perfect winter drink, hot buttered rum is irresistible. It is sweet and warm, which is just the kind of comfort you need during the winter. The United States has a long history of warming beverages going back to colonial times. You can make this popular drink in a variety of ways, and it's a great holiday drink.

The recipe for hot buttered rum is very simple and can be used to quickly mix up one or two drinks. You can also make a large batch of the cocktail and store it in the refrigerator if you want to serve it at a party or if you are a big fan of the cocktail. All you have to do is pour, stir, and drink.

Main alcohol: Rum

Hot Toddy

An evening hot toddy is the perfect remedy for easing the irritation of a cold. As far as hot drinks go, the Hot Toddy reigns supreme.

The Toddy originated in the mid-18th century, and it traditionally consists of spirit, sugar, and hot water, perhaps with lemon peel or other spices. Irish whiskey was used in Ireland. They used scotch in Scotland. In the United States, people used whatever was available, often brandy or rum. In today's world, whiskey usually wins out. Due to the Toddy's customizable nature, it may contain different spirits depending on where you get it.

It's great to sip hot toddies in the evening or as a nightcap. It is just perfect winter cocktail for playing cards with the family. It’s a great idea to feature a hot toddy bar at holiday parties.

A delicious combination of coffee, liqueur, and dessert. This is a strong, but sweet, rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious coffee. If an Irish coffee is your thing you’re guaranteed to love this!

Mulled Wine

A mulled wine is a warm alcoholic beverage made of red wine, spices, and sometimes raisins and is usually served hot.

Winter can be refreshing and memorable when you inhale the intoxicating scent of toasted spices, cinnamon, and wine. A perfect balance of sweet and spicy makes this cocktail perfect for winter.

Ingredients: Allspice, Clove, Star anise, Cinnamon stick, Maple syrup, Orange juice, Brandy, Red wine.
