First on the list?
The venerable Manhattan.
I've taken a liking to a Southern Manhattan made with 100 proof Southern Comfort.
Purists will say it's too sweet, but add a little more bitters, and it makes smooth, tasty drink.

Have a "virtual" Macanudo "Hampton Court" on me.
You like a claro Corona?
Those are a nice mild smoke.

Thanks bud. This would be a good time for a futuristic 3d cigar printer. Since we are not there yet I'll just have to let the moment pass as is. Still, a nice mellow and relaxing night. I'm not even gonna bring up the temperatures. I'm sure you might think that instead of a "winter" drink I'm sipping something on the "balmy" side at only 19 degrees.

When most people think of BBC, they think of the British Broadcasting Corporation. But when you think of a BBC cocktail, think of Brandy, Baileys and Coffee - it's as easy as 1-2-3. Don't forget the whipped cream!

Grab a mug and add 1 oz of Brandy and 1 oz of Baileys. Fill the rest of the cup with hot Coffee. Top it off with Whipped Cream before serving.

Hot Apple Toddy
Cocktail Recipe
Posted on December 17, 2010
Filed under: Apple Cider Drinks, Hot Alcoholic Drinks, Whiskey Drinks
If you like apple cider, you'll love a Hot Apple Toddy. Much like the original that it was named after, this little winter wonder can be made with whiskey or apple brandy. The real difference here is that your mug is filled with hot apple cider instead of hot water. (Who would pass up hot apple cider for water. Enjoy!
How to make a Hot Apple Toddy Cocktail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start with your favorite coffee mug. Add 2 oz of Whiskey or Apple Brandy and 1 teaspoon of Honey. Fill the rest of your mug with hot Apple Cider and garnish with a Cinnamon Stick and a few Cloves before serving.

A nice cognac would suffice.
I'd like to curl up with you in front of the fire and sip a cognac.

Mulled Wine
Like sangria, mulled wine is a forgiving beverage that doesn't require costly wine to be enjoyable. It's a wonderful way to warm up on a winter evening with friends. I personally favor a Pinot noir in my mulled wine, but a good Cabernet Sauvignon will also do very nicely.
Ingredients:
1 750-ml bottle red wine
1 cup sugar
1 cup apple juice
2 lemons, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 clementines, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
3 cinnamon sticks
2 whole nutmeg
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole allspice
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan or slow cooker, combine the wine, sugar, apple juice, fruit and spices. Warm the beverage slowly over low heat without boiling and allow the flavors to come together for at least one hour. Strain before serving, if you wish. Enjoy warm!
