If you’re ready to swap your Jalapeno Margarita for a Hot Toddy, now is the perfect time. As the weather changes, so does our palate. Gone is the desire for that fruity rum cocktail that transports you to the tropics. In its place is the longing for a toasty libation you can cozy up to your fireplace and a good book with.

I’ll be the first to admit that creating a hot cocktail can be a bit tricky if you’re new to it. Lucky for us, the folks at Dewar’s, Teeling, and Aviation Gin have whipped up some delectable cocktails you can easily recreate at home. What I love most about these winter-friendly cocktails is that they’re not made with a bunch of sugary mixers and other not-so-good-for-you additions. Instead, you’ll need ingredients like maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup.

I’m working late ‘cause I’m a writer.💃 Sorry y’all, but I’ve been dying to get that one out of my system. Now that that’s out the way, I’m super excited to share that Sabrina Carpenter has partnered with two iconic brands to release a product I’ve been eagerly waiting for: an Espresso Martini kit!

It’s finally happened, folks! I’m taking part in my first ever Dry January. Funny enough, I started a week late because I was on a press trip with WhistlePig Whiskey and Sunkist for the release of their Wet and Dry Orange Fashioned. On the trip, we sampled both offerings, but I was most curious about the Dry Orange Fashioned since I’ve never had a zero proof Old Fashioned before.

If you’re like me then you’ve been using Simply Lemonade’s collection of juices as cocktail mixers for yearsss. Well, it appears that Simply has caught on to our at-home mixology practices because the beverage brand has just introduced their first-ever Simply Mixology line. The refreshing, new line is comprised of “cocktail-inspired, fruit-forward, and alcohol-free juice blends.” Those blends include Strawberry Guava Mojito, Lime Margarita, and Peach Sour.
