1. Mulled Apple Cider

Mulled apple cider is a special kind of apple cider that incorporates spices to create a strong warming aroma. This amazing beverage can be enjoyed as is or with a shot of rum. Be sure to include spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice to get the most captivating aroma you can.

This classic drink is easy to make, either on the stove or with a slow cooker. Remember to toast the spices first before adding in the apple cider. For fun, garnish each mug or insulated tumbler with an orange slice or some cranberries to make the drink festive.

2. Homemade Hot Cocoa

You can make hot chocolate, a delectable winter classic, right from the stove using simple ingredients, including cocoa powder, vanilla, chocolate pieces, and milk. Want it spiked? Add in peppermint spirits or Irish crème for a wintery twist. Top it off with some whipped cream and marshmallows, and you’re in for a real winter treat.

3. Classic Hot Toddy

Cozy up around the fire with an easy recipe for a classic winter drink. The hot toddy combines bourbon, hot water, regular or manuka honey, and a pinch of lemon juice. Some people substitute bourbon for rum. For garnish, throw in a cinnamon stick.

4. Vanilla Chai Latte

This winter drink is a barista’s take on the classic masala chai. Infused with chai spices and frothed milk to create foam, this drink blends cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom to form a sweet and soothing flavor. Use a high-quality chai concentrate or powder as your base and add in your spices to taste.

5. The Cranberry Martini

Like the vodka cranberry staple, cranberry martinis are made with a balance of orange liqueur and lemon juice. Cranberry juice is mixed with vodka and simple syrup for a tart but tasty winter drink.

6. Cowboy Coffee

For a low-maintenance version of a cup of joe, boil water over specialty coffee grounds. This is the perfect winter drink for coffee lovers with little patience! Next, strain out the coffee grounds for an espresso without the fuss.

7. Greyhound Gin Cocktail

Sweet and straightforward, the greyhound cocktail consists of grapefruit with gin and simple syrup. This is the perfect drink to enjoy during happy hour or at your holiday party!

8. Hot Buttered Rum

In boiling water, mix dark rum and butter for a creamy base. Next, add cinnamon and allspice for a hot drink bursting with winter flavor. Sweeten things up with brown sugar, spices, and rum. Once it’s all simmered, you’re set to enjoy it!

9. Classic Irish Coffee

Mix coffee with Irish whisky and whipped cream, and there you have it—the classic Irish coffee, perfect for winter indulgence.

Pro tip: Make sure you choose bitter coffee as your base to avoid drinking an overly sweet beverage.

10. London Fog Tea

Take the standard Earl Gray tea latte and add a dash of lavender extract for a classy drink from home. Add in a tablespoon of honey and vanilla extract, and you’re good to go. For the best foam and flavor, use whole milk over alternatives.

Happy holidays! Consider the simple drinks listed above as you prepare your cozy winter drink menu from home. These holiday drinks are perfect for seasonal parties, family gatherings, or cozying up with your love by the fire. Enjoy!
