Warm Cocktails To Keep You Cozy
Autumn Spice Toddy
The Autumn Spice Toddy is a soothing blend of warmth and sweetness, making it the perfect companion for a chilly evening under the stars.
First, combine bourbon, honey, and lemon juice in a heatproof glass. Then, top with hot water and stir until the honey dissolves. Finish with a cinnamon stick garnish for an aromatic twist.
Maple Bourbon Apple Cider
This cocktail embodies the essence of fall with the rich flavors of apple, maple, and a hint of spice.
You will first warm apple cider, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon over low heat in a saucepan. Once heated, pour the mixture into a mug, leaving room at the top. From there, add bourbon and stir gently. Garnish your drink with apple slices and an extra pinch of cinnamon.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Martini
Sip on this indulgent martini for a dose of fall flavors with a caffeine kick.
Presentation is essential for a martini. Rim a martini glass with cinnamon and sugar. In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, pumpkin spice creamer, simple syrup, and ice. Shake the mix vigorously and strain into your prepared glass. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Cranberry Orange Hot Punch
This vibrant punch is perfect for a fall soirée with friends or a cozy night inside.
Combine two cups of cranberry juice and one cup of orange juice in a pot. Heat that mix over low-medium heat until steaming. Remove it from heat and stir in spiced rum and triple sec. Ladle into mugs and garnish with orange slices and cranberries.
These warm cocktails will be your faithful companions to keep you cozy (and a little boozy). They offer warmth and a taste of the season itself.
