Cocktails for the Cold

You can’t beat a cooling and refreshing cocktail in the summer. During cold and icy winters, however, you may be at a loss at what to drink. Something that’s softer, more comforting and warming is usually more appealing than cooling citrusy flavours in the colder months.

Winter Cocktails is a book full of delicious solutions. Pouring through this beautifully illustrated book, you’ll find the methods to make Irish Coffees, Hot Buttered Rum, mulled wines and spiced creamy drinks that will slide down your throat like silk. One of the best drinks is the Rosy Cheek, an elegantly smooth white chocolate tipple with rum, peppercorns and nuts.

It contains useful step-by-step instructions of how to ‘muddle,’ make caramel and garnishes, and what ingredients to stock up on. What’s more, if you flick to the back, you’ll find delightful nibble recipes to accompany your drinks.

Now that you’re a skilled mixologist, you can host all the winter cocktail parties you like.
