Tired of crappy college beer? Want to try something new this season to help you stay warm as the weather gets even colder? How about some warm drinks with a little extra spice… I am talking about warm mixed drinks to help you get through the holidays with your family. They will sweeten your mood and warm you up, inside and out. Here are some of the best!
1.) Chai Eggnog
This one merely suggests spiking your eggnog, but I highly suggest spiking your eggnog.
2.) Spiked Mexican Hot Chocolate
Chocolate AND tequila?!
3.) Spiced Vanilla Pear Apple Cider
Again: lists booze as optional… but let’s be real. You opened this page knowing full well it was all alcoholic recipes.
4.) Hot Toddy
Choose your booze!
5.) Almond Milk Chai with Whiskey and Orange
VEGAN
6.) Kahlua Hot Chocolate
It’s like hot chocolate’s cooler older cousin.
7.) Spiced Coconut Vanilla Steamer
I personally prefer vanilla to chocolate, so this is where I’ll be.
8.) Autumn Wassail
HOT ~or~ COLD
9.) Hendrick’s Hot Gin Punch
Good for large groups (or lonely nights)
10.) Glögg
If you’ve ever mixed wine and vodka like I have, you know it’s a mistake. This is the exception!
********BONUS!!!!!! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE: Winter White Cosmo
Sometimes it gets a little heated at holiday parties or you have been sitting near the fireplace for too long. Thinking of stepping outside to cool off for a second? Don’t be crazy! My favorite drink EVER is a cosmo. I recently went to Bonefish Grill and realized I have been missing out. They have a special drink they serve around the holidays called the Winter White Cosmo. It is an incredibly delicious twist on the regular cosmopolitan, but it looks like it jumped right out of your favorite big kid holiday recipe book. It is beautiful and deserves to be tasted by ALL.
