Cold Weather Cocktails Guaranteed To Keep You Warm & Cozy This Season

Dewar’s Whisky

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.
