With the cold of winter here in full force, now is a great time for enjoying cozy warm drinks. And there’s perhaps no warm drink more iconic than the classic Hot Toddy. This simple combination of whisky, hot water, honey, and lemon juice is a favorite go-to when someone is feeling under the weather, but it’s great even if you’re just a bit chilly as well.

You can vary the recipe for your Hot Toddies too, to enjoy seasonal flavors like maple syrup, ginger, or even tea. The brand Wyoming Whiskey has shared three recipe ideas to help you get creative with your Hot Toddies at this time of year and to incorporate different flavors to highlight the notes and nuances of your whiskies. These recipes make use of the brand’s bourbon offerings, matched to particular flavor combinations for something warm and delicious.

Gin goes with everything! From strawberries to carrot
The Connaught

As an avowed gin lover, one of the things I enjoy about the spirit is its ability to mix with a wide range of ingredients. It can do some much more than a Gin & Tonic, as depending on the botanicals used in a particular gin it can be combined with everything from herbal lushness to bracing bitterness to fruity sweetness.

A balanced gin like Fords is a great choice for mixing as it isn't overly sharp or bitter, but still has enough interest to add depth to any drink you make with it. These recipes from bartenders around the world show just how diverse gin drinks can be, combining ingredients from strawberries and coconut to carrot and grapefruit.

Spritz season is here, and you should try a Lillet Spritz
Lillet

The arrival of the warm months means one thing for drinks fans: it's spritz time. Whether you love or hate the Aperol Spritz -- or just think it's overrated -- there's no getting away from the ubiquitous orange drinks that pop up everywhere at this time of year. Whilst I am an Aperol defender (I don't care if it's not trendy any more, it's still delicious) I also love to try a variety of spritzes, as the combination of sparkling wine plus liqueur is one that lends itself to all sorts of options.

One of my favorite summer drinks is a spritz variation which uses Lillet Blanc, a bracing quinine-infused aperitif which has a light and bright character but also a hefty bitterness which I love, and which I find sets off the sweetness of a Prosecco really well. I like to combine equal parts of Lillet Blanc and fizzy water, then add in a large ice cube and an absolute ton of cucumber slices. The fresh notes of the cucumber really brighten up the drink.

Feel the sea breeze with these seaside-inspired gin cocktails
Sheringham’s Seaside Gin

Savory cocktails are everywhere this year, and I couldn't be happier about that. While there's certainly a place for a sweet or fruity treat once in a while, there's something about a bracing, salty cocktail which I find so compelling -- and a welcome break from the typical cocktails you see in most bars and restaurants.

As a huge gin lover I'm naturally a big fan of savory gins, which can use ingredients as diverse as celery, basil, thyme, salt, and kelp to add a herbal, green, fresh and fragrant note to a spirit that plays perfectly in savory drinks,
