Here are some awesome alcoholic beverages for the cold winter days and long winter nights. Sip carefully, it’s hot!

Irish Coffee
Basically just a shot of Bailey’s and a shot of whiskey in coffee. You can drink it straight-up in black coffee or add a bunch of Irish cream syrup, half & half, and whipped cream to make it fancy!

Hot Toddy
This drink simply consists of lemon juice, Scotch, and boiling water. Add some cinnamon, cloves, and brown sugar to make it seasonal and easily drinkable. This cold-weather favorite will kick your cold’s ass and also give you an awesome holiday pick-me-up.

Mulled Rum Cider
Boil apple cider and orange juice with some cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Add rum to taste/potency once the drink is made, and you have an awesome winter weather creation on you hands.

Hot Chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps
Everyone loves the pairing of peppermint and chocolate in the winter time, especially when it comes to hot drinks. Add some schnapps to yours instead of syrup and watch the magic happen!

Eggnog
Warm up some eggnog and add some bourbon or rum. This is by far the most classic cold-weather alcoholic beverage, and it has a distinct flavor you won’t get anywhere else!
