When it comes to cocktails, martinis are all-season drinks. That said, not all drinks are as versatile. If you’re looking to add seasonal drinks on your menu for yourself or guests at home, winter cocktails are must-haves for chilly evenings. They’re sure to warm you up from the inside as the temperature drops toward the freezing point on the outside. Here are a few popular winter cocktails that you can whip in the cold winter months.

Mulled cider with cloved citrus
One of the most popular winter cocktails, mulled cider is the easiest to make. Made of sugar, spice, and everything nice, this drink with cloved citrus is guaranteed to give you the warm cozy feeling we all love during the winters. To make this delectable winter cocktail, warm up some apple cider with an orange poked with cloves, a couple of star anise, nutmeg, and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Add a dash of sugar and a vanilla pod, and your comforting winter cocktail is ready in a jiffy!

Hot toddy
A great combination of whiskey, lemon, and honey, a drink of hot toddy packs in a load of comforting warmth for a chilly winter evening. And the addition of cloves and cinnamon gives the perfect spicy punch. All you need to do is mix whiskey and honey and add a generous pouring of boiling water. Serve it in heat-resistant glasses garnished with a slice of clove-studded lemon and a cinnamon stick.

Fennel countdown
Perfect for sipping while in front of a roaring fireplace, fennel countdown is what you need for a winter evening if you plan to curl up and enjoy your favorite read. Made from citrus-clove liqueur, calvados, and rum, this popular winter cocktail is a combination of hot flavors. The addition of apricot puree and fennel syrup gives the unbeatable mix of sweetness and spicy-ness. Plus, add a dash of bitters to get the perfect blend of taste.

Winter whiskey sour
