What is the best cocktail to make in the winter? For me, I make a Hot Toddy, which I need to add my version of to this site, but it’s spring now, so I will wait. I also enjoy an Hot Berry Tea with Elderberry Liqueur & Gin cocktail while watching a movie, or reading. For the last 14 years, I’ve read Harry Potter around Christmas. Not just one, but all. That should be fun enough a fact for you.

What is included below is the beginning of a list of winter cocktails to get you through the chilly, wet months of the year. Though, as a disclaimer, if you become stranded in the cold, do not drink your cocktail or cocktail supplies because as Google says, “Drinking alcohol while freezing is dangerous because it rapidly lowers your core body temperature, drastically increasing the risk of hypothermia and frostbite. While alcohol causes a false sensation of warmth by widening blood vessels and sending blood to the skin, it actually causes faster heat loss, impairs shivering, and ruins judgment, making you less likely to seek warmth.“

You’ve been warned. Now get warmed.
