10 Hot (Boozy) Drink Recipes for Cold Nights

Hot and boozy is our favorite combination come colder months of the year, so we’ve found a whole winter’s worth of drinks to get you through parties, quiet nights at home, and outdoor excursions. It’s definitely time to invest in a good thermos.


1. Mulled Wine: A cinnamon-y boozy beverage comes together in your slow cooker and can be served out of the same vessel too.

2. Hot Buttered Bourbon: If you’ve ever wondered what the Harry Potter butterbeer tastes like, we imagine it’s something like this. You don’t have to be a wizard to make it though. Just remember to keep it hot in a Crock-Pot for your guests.

3. Mulled Wine Hot Chocolate: Our two favorite things put together into one big warm mug, what could be better?

4. Easy Hot Toddy: This light and bright toddy is just the thing if you’re feeling sniffly.

5. Slow-Cooker Mulled Reisling: Give us the glogg. A pot of mulled wine in the slow cooker will make your house smell like a cinnamon-orange candle.

6. Vegan Slow Cooker Hot Cocoa: Goodness gracious, the gold touch on the rims, the coconut cream mound on top. Throw in your favorite liqueur, and you’ll be hooked.

7. Chai Hot Toddy: Hot chocolate and traditional toddies get a lot of play during the holidays, but don’t sleep on chai. It’s spicy, sweet,and can really liven up a party.

8. 5-Ingredient Mulled Wine: This recipe only uses five ingredients and is the ideal bev for parties or just for a night in.

9. Spiked Lattes: While we don’t suggest spiking your morning mocha on the way to work, this just might rid you of your hangover on a lazy Sunday.

10. Mulled Cider With Cloved Oranges: Though this cider isn’t spiked, a splash of bourbon, rum, or brandy will do the trick.
