9 Booze-Infused Winter Drink Recipes
By Tara Fuller
Soup is a classic go-to when the weather cools down, but there are many other ways to warm up from the inside out. Take boozy beverages, for example. Whether served hot or cold, a drop (or five) of alcohol goes a long way when it comes to keeping you toasty.
And if that isn’t tempting enough: Boozy winter cocktails can be consumed any time of day. (Though we don’t recommend throwing back a few during the workday—at least not every day.) Start with a spiked hot chocolate, get an afternoon kick from a Moscow mule, and simmer down with mulled wine. Sounds like a solid itinerary to us!
Thirsty yet? Get hydrated with these nine festive cocktails. Just make sure to drink plenty of water too.
1. Pomegranate Moscow Mule
Vodka and beer may seem like a dangerous combination, but don’t you worry, it’s non-alcoholic ginger beer. Combined with fresh pomegranate and lime juice, and topped with colorful garnish, this cocktail is the perfect nightcap or something to sip on after a holiday binge.
2. Cranberry and Rosemary White “Christmas” Sangria
Sangria isn’t just for summer. The right flavor combination can be served any time of year—and this recipe brings all the right players to the holiday table.

3. Spiced Apple Cider Champagne Cocktail
Got five minutes? Then you have plenty of time to make this festive cocktail. Simply mix fresh apple cider with champagne and Tennessee cider (apple brandy works too), and the drink is ready for you and your thirsty guests. To make them look slightly fancier, add a cinnamon stick to each glass.
4. Kahlua Hot Chocolate
One look at this decadent drink is enough to convince us we need it in our lives—immediately. And while it may look like a glass of sugar overload, it actually isn’t too sweet. Making your own hot chocolate mix allows you to control the sugar (and alcohol) contents, and the toppings are of course optional. (Though we highly recommend adding them all.)
5. Christmas Tree Cocktail
