Hot cocktails, flavored with spices and a kick of your favorite spirit, are one of the best ways to stave off the frigid air that this time of year brings. Layered with comforting ingredients, like creamy liqueur and aromatic spices, these cocktails will wrap you in delicious warmth. To add a little cheer to these tasty drinks, top them with whipped cream or a flavorful cinnamon stick.

Often times winter cocktails are variants of three types of drinks: warm apple ciders, steaming coffee, and indulgent hot chocolate. Kentucky Bourbon can be added to for an extra touch of burning heat. Or maybe you try a peppermint cocktail to give you a cooling sensation that reminds you of the holidays. To spice things up, add a dash of cinnamon—the smell alone will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.  

Regardless of which flavor combination you choose, curl up with a warm winter drink and feel perfectly toasty despite the bitter weather.
