Our Favorite Winter Alcoholic Drinks

There’s nothing like celebrating the winter season with some tasty winter alcoholic drinks. Winter is usually portrayed in one of two ways:

One, as that time when you decide to lounge on your favorite couch, scroll through your phone and play back-to-back episodes of something on Netflix (all while munching on your favorite snacks and packing on the winter weight);

Or, as that time when you decide to dress warm, brave the cold outside, and even head somewhere snowy to get back to your favorite winter sporting activities.

Whichever option is more “you,” one fact remains: the relative amount of time spent indoors during winter is higher for everyone. Even though Texas winters are pretty mild, you may feel like getting into the winter spirit.

This being the case, you might as well have fun with it! One proven way to stay truly warm and cozy this winter is through enjoying a glass of the winter-classic drinks the season has to offer.

Feel free to try out some or all of our favorite winter alcoholic drinks this year, and you’ll be glad you did!

1. Hot Pumpkin Butter Rum

Curl up with a glass full of this steamy, warm, smooth and buttery beverage on the coldest of days of the year, and you will be surprised at the amazing warming power it possesses. Get the full recipe for this drink here.

2. Winter Cranberry Martini

A very easy and equally delicious drink that can be served all year round if you really like it. If you plan on having friends over for a late night, this drink will surely help get the “winter groove on.” Get the full recipe for this drink here. 

3. Caramel Irish Coffee

This drink puts a scrumptious spin on a classic, using the same great Irish-whiskey-and-coffee combo that makes Irish coffee an iconic cocktail. To that, add Irish cream and butterscotch schnapps before topping it with whipped cream and caramel, and have yourself a merry berry winter! Get the full recipe for this drink here. 

4. Bourbon Spiked White Chocolate

Festive cocktails like the Bourbon Spiked White Chocolate are the perfect drinks to break out of the doldrums of winter. Not only do they look incredibly inviting, they also taste like Christmas in a mug. Get the full recipe for this drink here. 

5. Snowball

The winter months seem like the perfect time to revive a recipe your grandparents might have enjoyed. The Snowball is about as classic as a cocktail can get. The mix is simple—brandy, syrup, egg, and ginger ale—but it comes together with a certain level of sophistication you will totally enjoy. Get the full recipe for this drink here.
