From hot toddies to mulled wine, you are sure to find a perfect hot drink to warm you and your guests up on a chilly evening. Read on for an overview of this season’s most popular hot cocktails.
Hot Toddy
The hot toddy is an iconic winter beverage. This festive drink is traditionally prepared with whiskey or brandy, which is stirred into a mug that contains hot water. Some of the most common additions to a hot toddy include freshly squeezed lemon and a tablespoon of honey. Other types of liqueurs, such as Averna, can be added to the toddy to provide it with a special flair.
Spiked Cider
Apple cider is a popular winter beverage for people of all ages. To make an adult version of your favorite apple cider drink, you can add brandy or bourbon to the mug. Some common spices that are used to create spiked cider include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Hot Buttered Rum
If you want to serve your guests a sweet and indulgent treat, you may want to consider whipping up a batch of hot buttered rum. Hot buttered rum starts with a mixture of sugar, butter, and spices. Once this base has been blended, rum and hot water are added to create the perfect winter cocktail.
