9 Delicious Drinks To Warm Up With This Fall
9 Delicious Drinks To Warm Up With This Fall
With the weather starting to get cooler, it's time put away those cold-brew coffees and iced teas and pick up a drink that's going to warm your heart. You could always go traditional with black coffee, of course, or try hot chocolate, hot apple cider, or tea — but why not a hot toddy? A hot toddy is perfect for cool fall nights — it includes rum or bourbon or some other spirit, water, lemon, cinnamon, and cloves. Rumor has it that if you drink a hot toddy when you're sick, you'll be well in hours. Having a warm drink is the perfect way to welcome fall, which is why we made it the theme of this week's SWAT (Sharing With A Theme).
Hot Buttered Rum Nutella Toddy
When you're feeling a little under the weather, the perfect warm drink is a hot toddy. When you add Nutella to the mix, you've really got something special.
Hot Fluffernutter Cocoa
This is the perfect drink for peanut butter lovers. Chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallow fluff gives you a warm, creamy chocolate drink.
Maple Hot Toddy
This maple hot toddy is easy to assemble for one or a small crowd. It's not overly sweet, but the maple syrup softens the bite of the bourbon in just the right way. — Carolyn Selheim-Miller
Hot Toddy Recipe
When the temperature begins to dip you know it's time to start making hot toddys. This drink will warm you through during the cold nights. Chamomile tea, star anise, clove, cinnamon, and lemon juice round out this delicious whiskey drink.
Bourbon-Spiked Hot Apple Cider
While mulled apple cider is delicious all on its own when it's spiked with bourbon it taste a whole lot better. If you have kids, serve them the apple cider sans bourbon and add in the liquor afterwards. This is the perfect recipe for a small group of four or a large group of ten.
Wassail
The main ingredients of wassail includes a blend of spices such as ginger, cloves, and cinnamon mixed with apple cider or apple juice, simmered for a few hours so the flavors can blend together nicely. Other juices like cranberry and orange juice can also be added along with orange, lemon, or lime slices. You can drink this like it is or make it a little more festive and add your favorite bourbon, brandy, wine, or rum to it. — Sweet and Spicy Monkey
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Oh, all right. We know you want your pumpkin spice. Ever since fall began, pumpkin recipes have been popping up left and right, from appetizer to desserts. This pumpkin spice hot chocolate is just as delicious, if not more so, than classic hot chocolate! — Cherry on My Sundae
Caramel Apple Cider
The perfect fall beverage is apple cider. Try this delicious recipe, an exact replica, we think, of the one Starbucks uses. And it won't cost you four bucks.
Skinny Chai Tea Latte
There's nothing like a hot chocolate or warm apple cider to warm you up when the weather gets chilly — but try a healthier fall drink by combining almond milk and spicy chai tea. — Bridget Creel
