Hot Drinks / Bebidas calientes

Hot Drinks When the weather gets cooler, many people often look for ways to warm up from the inside out. While some may enjoy a warm meal of comfort foods, others prefer to take the chill off with a hot, refreshing beverage. A hot drink is a wonderful way to warm up on a cold day. However, you don’t need cold temperatures to enjoy a hot drink. By simply warming up a usually cold favorite, you can easily create a perfect alternative to the same old boring drink. The best part about creating a hot drink is that the possibilities are endless. While many drinks can be enjoyed either cold or warm, some are created specifically to be enjoyed while hot. Well known varieties include: classic grog, a hot toddy, Irish coffee, tea-based drinks, spiked cider, mulled wine, and crowd-pleasing hot punches. To convert your favorite drink into a hot, alcoholic beverage, simply add your preferred liquor and heat it to the desired temperature. Another great way to enjoy a hot drink is by having an after dinner drink. Many a great meals is finished off with a sweet dessert, coffee, and/or tea to completely satisfy your palate. After dinner drinks can be consumed along with dessert, or as a dessert all by itself. Many after dinner drinks consist of adding liquor to you coffee or tea, specifically flavors such as Amaretto, Bailey’s Irish Crème, or Grand Marnier, to create a sweet finish to your meal.
