Beverage illustrations including coffee, cocktails, and soft drinks.

Get into the holiday spirit by fixing yourself a hot alcoholic drink. What better way to warm your body and spirit for the cold winter season?

Thankfully, you do not need to be a bartender to get into the holiday cheer with these mixed alcoholic drinks. If you want your coffee fix and alcohol fix, you can easily put together an alcoholic hot coffee drink with Bailey's, Kahula, or Irish whiskey.

For a warm eggnog-like drink, celebrate Christmas with the classic Tom and Jerry. If you are in the mood for apple cider, how about a apple cider and tequila toddy? If you have a lot of wine and a lot of party guests, try the mulled Christmas wine spiced with orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other festive spices.

And then there is buttered rum. Butter makes everything—including hot alcoholic drinks—better.
