Beach, the sound of the sea, the warm sun on your skin and a delicious cocktail in hand … Isn’t that a dream? Unfortunately, yes, because it’s exactly the opposite of summer out there. We therefore have to do without bikini and co. In this country for the time being, but fortunately not delicious cocktails. After all, you can sip them all year round. If you are looking for a change from Sex on the Beach and Pina Colada, we have just the right recipes here. It doesn’t always have to be the classics, a touch of winter can also float over the long drink glass.
Always just mulled wine? Nope!
It’s THE winter drink: mulled wine. Very sweet for the most part, very sticky, and if you overdo it, it adds the worst kind of headache for free. Alternatives are needed, because when it gets cold outside, we want to provide internal warmth. And that is exactly what winter cocktails do. Whether at the next girls’ evening, at the Christmas party or simply on any Monday evening. Who cares? The main thing is tasty. And not only that: winter cocktails are a whole lot more elegant than mulled wine.
Winter cocktail heroes
If we want to mix winter cocktails, they should of course also taste like winter. So let’s go back to ingredients that do just that: oranges, pears, apples, cinnamon, aniseed, cloves, cranberries and plums. We have put together a list of the great drinks that can be conjured up from it. So: invite friends inside, put up a patio heater and enjoy cocktails while it’s still cold. After all, there must be something good about this dark season, even if it is only that we are already looking forward to the summer irrepressibly. So get on the shaker and off you go.
