5 Warm and Cozy Cocktails You Can Make at Home

2018-01-05 ShanghaiWOWeng

WINTER IS COMING. No. Wait. It’s already come. That’s why we are all freezing our tits off in poorly insulated houses even though we have our coats on. If you’re struggling to beat the chill of mid-winter then what you need is a strong alcoholic beverage, preferably a hot one that will warm your cockles. Whilst you could just microwave whiskey, this would officially make you an ANIMAL. So… here is a list of 10 easy-to-make hot cocktails with ingredients you can easily find in Shanghai.


Bailey's Hot Chocolate

 


Ingredients

Milk, Coco, Sugar (or just use hot chocolate powder), Baileys, Chocolate sauce, Whipped cream.


Method

Heat your milk, stir in all the dry ingredients. Then pour into a cup and add Baileys to taste. Something between 1 part Baileys and 9 parts hot chocolate and 9 parts baileys and 1 part hot chocolate should do it.  Add chocolate sauce and whipped cream to taste.


Mulled Wine

 


Ingredients

Red wine, oranges, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom pods, sugar/honey, brandy


Methods

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, and heat just barely to a simmer over medium-high heat. (Be careful not to boil the mulled wine — you don’t want to boil off the alcohol).  Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours. Strain, and serve warm with your desired garnishes.


Hot Buttered Rum

 


Ingredients

1 small slice of butter, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, a dash of ground cinnamon, a dash of ground nutmeg, a dash of ground allspice, a splash of vanilla extract, healthy splash of dark rum, hot water to top up the mug.


Method

Place the butter, sugar, and spices into the bottom of an Irish coffee glass or mug and mix it well. Pour in the rum and top it with hot water. Stir. Make sure that your water is hot, but not boiling. If the water is too hot it can ruin the flavors of the drink.

Adjust the spices to suit your taste. Some people prefer more cinnamon or nutmeg while others don't enjoy allspice, so be sure to customize it.


Irish Coffee



Ingredients

A good shot of whiskey, cup of coffee,  tea spoon of dark sugar, boiling water, double cream, coco to dust on top


Method

Dissolve the sugar in a splash of boiling water to make a syrup. Stir the sugar and the whiskey together in a warm glass. Add the coffee. Lightly whip double cream and pour over the back of a spoon into the glass. It should float on the top of the coffee, dust with coco.


Hot Toddy

 

 

Ingredients

Rum/brandy/whiskey (you choose, probably best not to use all three), a good sized shot. A table spoon of honey, quarter of a lemon, a cup of black tea.

 

Method

Make a cup of tea and set it aside. Add alcohol, lemon juice and honey, mix well. Top up the glass with hot tea and stir.
