Hot Drinks & Winter Warmers

Whisky Mac

 

You could start with the Kindred Cocktails equal parts Ginger Wine and Scotch Whisky, but I usually add a lemon slice and hot water to taste.

 

Green Chartreuse is a nice addition.

Now that the weather is turning for some of us, I find myself looking for soothing hot drinks.

I have a few:  Percolator Punch, Irish Coffee, Tom & Jerry, et al.

What are your faves?

I’m always looking for new options.

 

Hot cider

 

A bottle of hard cider

1 oz bourbon

1/2 oz Triple Sec

a dash of bitters

 

Heat the cider, add the other stuff, dust the top with cinnamon. Warm you on a cold night, it will.

I'm going to save this recipe and try it when it gets colder here on the East Coast. This sounds delicious. thanx

I'm a big fan of the Fernet & Jerry.

Me too... and I like the tiki variation of the Tom & Jerry too, the Tabonga & Jerry.

As a kid growing up in Scotland, I was regularly medicated by my mother with hot toddies. Still partial to one of a winter evening.

 

Hot whisky, water and honey.

It’s a chilly evening here and I"m enjoying an Irish Coffee...finishing up that bottle of Jameson"s.

I can't drink alcohol myself because I am allergic to it but years ago, when my favorite neighbors still lived here and we held "progressive" dinners, I made hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps in one of my large coffee urns, for those who liked "spiked" hot drinks and it went much faster than the un-spiked cocoa.  In fact, it started at my home and was transported to the dessert house so they began and ended with it. 

Also had hot spiced cider both plain and spiked but that was not as popular.

OK, groan, cringe, laugh all you want, but my wife and I drink this often when it's cold and wet outside:

 

4 oz. milk

2 oz. half and half

0.5 - 1 oz. Frangelico

1.5 oz. brandy (Korbel or Christian Bros.)

2 heaping Tbsp. Ovaltine

 

Stir in a mug, heat in the microwave until hot.

I keep a tin of decaf instant espresso in my pantry just to make my favorite Irish coffee -- 3 oz espresso, 1 oz Irish creme, 1 - 1 1/2 oz Jamesons. I'll occasionally stir a spoon of cocoa into it and call it mocha.

I've recently been introduced to the magic that is Hot Buttered Rum. So good, though a bit on the filling side. 😋

Whisky Mac using Stones Special Reserve Ginger Wine -better than the original

 

1 oz Aberlour A'bunadh

1 oz ginger wine

2 oz hot water

I've been making hot toddies with a coffee bean/cocoa nib infused vodka and a splash of homemade berry liqueur (I don't remember the combo).   It tastes like a Belgian truffle candy, except warming.

I have also made this with my orange liqueur.

Chilly evenings are more than tolerable. 

 

I've got a lot of concoctions on the liquor shelves, I need to start a utilization process.

I want a hot apple pie for breakfast. We have no cider and no Tuaca. But I do have Calvados. Maybe just throw some of that or some apple brandy into a cup of coffee and top it with whipped cream, which I also don't have. So maybe just foamed half and half. Seems like a good reason to get out of bed and stop eGulleting.
