Top 3 Cocktails to Fight the Winter Chill This Year

Classic Hot Toddy

Hot Toddy’s are perfect for a chilly, winter day. They are even suggested to be effective to alleviate certain ailments, like indigestion, sore throats, and coughs! If you like lemony drinks and honey, this winter cocktail is for you. Here’s how to make it:

■ 1.5 Ounces Honey Whiskey
■ 2 Lemons
■ 2 – 3 Teaspoons of Honey
■ ¾ Cup of Boiling Water
■ 1 Cinnamon Stick

Set your tea kettle, then quarter one lemon and thinly slice the other. Set aside. In a glass or ceramic mug, add the whiskey and the juice of 2 lemon wedges. Add honey to taste. Test your drink, then add more lemon or honey, depending on how you like it. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and lemon wheel.

Rumchata Hot Cocoa

Rumchata is a popular liqueur that offers a brilliantly rich and creamy element to anything you bake, make, or drink. Couple with your favorite kind of cocoa and you have yourself a charming and delicious winter cocktail! Here’s how to make it:

■ 2.5 Cups of Whole Milk
■ ½ Cup of Rumchata
■ Mug of Hot Cocoa
■ Whipped Cream
■ Granulated Sugar
■ Cinnamon Stick
■ Roasted Marshmallows
■ Melted Caramel (optional rim garnish)

Basically, just add all ingredients into your favorite blend of hot cocoa, then garnish with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick. If you want to take your drink to the next level, before making it, dip the rim of your mug into melted caramel, followed by a dunk in granulated sugar. In place of whipped cream (or in addition to…we’re not judging!), you can top it with roasted marshmallows!
