Winter Cocktails You Need Because It's Drinking Weather

The OG Hot Toddy, winter cocktails for the soul

Winter sucks. Alright, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk I hope you learned a lot.

All jokes aside, let’s (briefly, because I could go on forever) talk about why winter sucks. First of all, you are trapped inside and when you get enough cabin fever to venture outside, it’s so miserable you have to go back in. Oh yeah, it’s flu season. You are always one toddler away from contracting the plague every, other week. However, as much as I like gripping about it, there are a few upsides.

Besides cozy flannel blankets and winter sports that I do not participate in, the only other upside to winter is winter drinking. We get to enjoy flavors that would just be too heavy during any other season. So, because there’s nothing else to do in this weather but hibernate and drink, here are a few winter cocktail you should be enjoying.
