Warm up with our favourite Winter Warmers

It is well and truly cold. Again. It comes around each and every year and each and every year we still aren’t ready for it! However, we are getting into gear and where better to start than with a little winter warmer pick me up! We have searched far and wide and picked three of our  favourite winter warmer cocktails, along with the recipes and all the tools you will need to make them!

Hot & Heavy Grog

Now hear us out here, but we think this winter warmer in particular is great for the following day, particularly if you are feeling a little groggy! This is a simple but powerful hot toddy, here is what you need to make it happen:

  • 25ml overproof rum
  • 12.5ml honey syrup
  • 6ml fresh lime juice
  • Lemon peel, to garnish

This winter warmer cocktail is served in a a warmed toddy glass (as seen above). Using your bar spoon stir the rum with the honey syrup, lime juice and 80ml of boiling water. Alternatively use a standard tin on tin cocktail shaker, just be sure to stir instead of shake! Grab your zester or canale cutter and remove a small part of lemon zest from the outside of a lemon. Twist and add to the side of the warmed toddy glass as garnish.

Kuhano Vino

Over here in the UK we are quite used to our mulled wine, this isn’t much different and is served in Central Europe during the winter. A richly spiced punch, try a merlot or a syrah to get the best flavour.

Ingredients

  • 10 black peppercorns
  • 4 star anise, plus more for garnish
  • 960ml red wine
  • 14 cup honey
  • 12 tsp. grated nutmeg
  • Peel of 2 oranges
