17 Boozy Drinks To Keep You Warm This Winter

Winter can be a cold and depressing time for many people. One way to ease your stress and warm up from the inside out is to make yourself a nice cocktail. The following boozy drinks are sure to keep you warm, and stress free, this winter.

Bourbon Spiked Hot White Chocolate

This drink brings new style to the old hot chocolate. First of all, this is made with white chocolate chips and pumpkin puree. The bourbon is added to the drink and then it can be topped with caramel and marshmallows. If you are not a bourbon drinker, you can substitute it for Kahlua or Schnapps too.

Kahlua Hot Chocolate

While you can simply mix hot chocolate mix with a shot (or 2) of Kahlua, the recipe for homemade hot chocolate is easier than you may think. All you need is to mix milk, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a saucepan until it is hot. Add in the booze and then top with marshmallows, caramel and chocolate syrup and you have a drink that will warm your heart and ease your stress.

Earl Grey Hot Toddy

Everyone knows that Earl Grey tea is said to ease stress, and so does the hot toddy. What better way to end your day than to mix these two drinks together? All you need to do is seep the tea as usual and then add a shot (or 2) of bourbon and you are done. If you want, you can add a little lemon juice to the mix to give it a little more flavor.

Hot Buttered Pumpkin Rum

This recipe you make your hot buttered rum as normal, with the brown sugar and butter. Then you add in some pumpkin puree, your booze and bam! You have a hot, soothing drink perfect for a cold winter night.

Lion’s Tail

While this is not a hot drink, it is sure to make you forget it is cold outside. It consists of one part allspice dram, another one part of limejuice and then simple syrup. Top these with six parts bourbon and you have the ideal drink for when you want to forget that it is cold outside.

Slow Cooker Mulled Wine

Who said you have to drink alone? This drink cooks all day and is ready to be shared with friends and family. It is the perfect drink to bring to any holiday party. Just pour your favorite red wine in a slow cooker with cranberry-pomegranite juice, honey, and cinnamon and let it warm.
