Cocktails are now served hot! These warm drinks really heat us up in winter

    Yes, of course you can just drink a cup, but a warm oneis simply 1000 times cooler. We don't go to a bar and order tap water. Also, imagine you're sitting outside, by a fire, with good friends and you're holding an ice-cold drink with ice cubes in your hands.Sometimes a cocktail just has to be warm and we have discovered the three best recipes for the coming winter.They all contain whiskey (of course) and are only brought to temperature very carefully.Remember these threefor Christmas, New Year's Eve and every other cold winter evening.

    1. The Father

    How elegant can a warm cocktail be? If Le Père-Bis has its way, quite a bit. The name alone sounds bourgeois. And of course the ingredients are pretty interesting too. This is where chamomile tea meetson fine elderberry liqueur. This warm cocktail is still a real oneand significantly more exciting than any hot caipi.

    2. Hot Buttered Scotch

    The Hot Buttered Scotch relies on a secret ingredient. Homemade spiced butter goes into the drink. Cinnamon star anise and cloves merge with Scottishand warm apple juice. It may sound strange, but butter in a warm cocktail is an invention of angels. We can only encourage you to try this cocktail. You will love it.

    • 1 star anise
    • 1 clove

    • 1 teaspoon spiced butter
    • 1 Zimtstange

    First prepare the spiced butter. To do this, put all the spices in a mortar and paint. Heat the butter slowly, add the spices and stir. Then chill everything in the fridge. Then carefully warm Benriach whiskey and apple juice, do not boil, and pour into a mug that has been rinsed with hot water. Add a teaspoon of the cooled spiced butter and garnish with the cinnamon stick for stirring.

    3. Fireside Mule

    The Fireside Mule is, as the name Mule suggests, a drink with ginger beer. Together with Glenmorangie whiskey, lemon and apple juice, it becomes an extremely pleasant cocktail that you can enjoy outside in the cold. Make the recipe several times and save itin a teapot. This way he always stays warm and it never stays with you anyway.

    • 50 ml Glenmorangie The Original 12 YO
    • 125 ml Ginger Beer
    • 25 ml lemon juice
    • 25 ml apple juice
