Moscow Mule, the Vodka-Based Cocktail

The classic version of Moscow Mule consists of vodka and ginger beer, served in a copper mug. Nowadays, there are tons of variations to the cocktail, so it increases the choices of ingredients. This cocktail is usually served in a copper mug to give a traditional look. Plus, some believe that the taste and flavor of the drink enhance in a copper mug and gives a cooling sensation. The material of these mugs helps keep the temperature, aroma, and flavor of the drink almost invariable.

Winter days are not over yet, and so you are still in the mood for something hot, something that will warm you from the inside out. Figuring out how to add a dash of liquor to a hot beverage can be quite a challenge, but we have got you covered with today’s drink ideas from all over the world.

Gluhwein

A German favorite, gluhwein (hot spiced wine) is prepared by mixing dry red wine, heated and spiced with star aniseed, citrus, cloves, or cinnamon sticks, sugar and at times vanilla pods.

Hot Apple Cider and Rum Punch

To accomplish an excellent hot apple and rum punch, combine apple cider, cinnamon sticks, apple slices, orange slices, and ginger. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to a simmer until everything dissolves. Pour the liquid into big mugs and add rum to each drink! You can complement the drink with some orange slices, or even some ginger.

Irish Coffee
