Malibu Cider Sangria

Some people love to embrace winter with cozy warm drinks and sitting in front of the fire, watching the snow as it falls. But if you’d rather be dreaming of summer and warmer days ahead, then we wouldn’t blame you for that.

Lie back and imagine yourself on a warm beach!

Whiskey and apple cider, warmed with spices? Sign me up
Hot Toady

Deep, dark winter is warm cocktail time, whether you're enjoying a traditional Hot Toddy or exploring the underrated world of hot gin drinks. And one ingredient which I think deserves more love in the cocktail world is apple cider, which is delicious when cold and soothing and cozy when warm.

There's a new recipe from Irish whiskey brand Natterjack which makes use of either the Natterjack Cask Strength release, or an alternative limited edition called The Mistake. The Mistake is a fun release, being a heavily oaked expression which was created by a happy accident when a whiskey was left for longer than intended in oak casks, giving it strong flavors of vanilla, anise, and oak that make it perfect for a bold warm cocktail.
