It’s getting pretty chilly here now – here are 4 of my favourite alcoholic Christmas Cocktails for this time of year. They’re the best way to warm up – hands and belly ;)
Hot Chocolate with Baileys
I love Bailey’s Irish Cream… add a {generous} splash to a mug of hot chocolate and I’m in heaven!
Hot Cinnamon Cider It doesn’t get better than this! Here’s the recipe I use:
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1tsp allspice
4 cinnamon sticks
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 ltr cider
Place everything into a large saucepan, and heat for 20 mins over a low heat. If you’re having a party, or just want to keep some warm all evening, transfer it into a slow cooker on low.
Irish Coffee add a shot of whiskey and a little sugar to black coffee, top with a squirt of cream Hot Buttered Rum add a small knob of butter, 1 tsp sugar, a little cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract and a shot of rum to each mug then top up with hot water.
Ahhh, for the Irish Coffee one time I just added the whisky to the coffee without sugar or cream: and it was astringently gross. Good to know the actual method to make it!
