Here at wildbrumby, wintertime is our favourite season!To share the joy, we’ve got a selection of warming winter cocktails for you to try at home.
Roaring fireplaces, snow angels, ski slopes and snowflakes – the world is a little more magical at this time of the year. Ok, maybe winter looks a bit different to you. But we think you’ll agree that this season isn’t complete without a mug of hot gluhwein or a steamy winter warmer. So, to toast the winter, we’re sharing a few must-try winter cocktail recipes so you can re-create the spirit of the Snowies in your own home.
Here’s a hot tip…
The secret to any warm cocktail is to pre-heat your mug or heat resistant glass. To do this, pour hot water straight from the kettle into your vessel of choice and allow the heat to warm it up. Just remember to discard the hot water before serving your cocktail. Now, get creating the perfect Après treat!
Glühwein
You can’t make a list of must-try winter cocktails without mentioning the king of all winter warmers. Glühwein is a warm, wine-based drink enjoyed throughout western Europe during wintertime, mulled with a delicious blend of wintery spices. The literal translation in German is ‘glow-wine’, and that is exactly what this drink does. One sip and you’ll be glowing with warmth from head to toe.
How to make it:
All the hard work is done for you with this fusion of spiced wine and pink lady apple schnapps. Simply pour a bottle of our wildbrumby Glühwein into a pot. Add a cinnamon stick, star anise, orange slices and heat on a stovetop. Make sure to heat the liquid without bringing it to the boil. Once warm, serve into 4 pre-heated mugs and garnish each with a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick.
Faceplant
The best kind of Faceplant you’ll have all day! Baked Apple Schnapps brings home the sweet spirit of home-grown pink lady apples, cinnamon, cloves and star anise — and a velvet layer of whipped cream on top will soon melt away all memories of any snow-related mishaps.
Ingredients:
25mL wildbrumby baked apple schnapps whipped cream cinnamon
How to make it:
Gently warm your wildbrumby baked apple schnapps in the Microwave for 10-15 seconds in a shot glass. Top with whipped cream and add a light dusting of cinnamon. Sip and savour with friends, preferably in front of a roaring fire.
Our wildbrumby baked apple schnapps is a seasonal product and will only be available for a limited time during winter.
Schnapperol Spritz
Perfect for those bluebird days! Here’s a cooler alternative for when you’re sitting in the sun, surrounded by friends and springtime snow.
Ingredients: 50ml Wildbrumby Negroni Fever Tree Blood Orange Soda
How to make it:
First, fill a large wineglass with lots of ice. Add our wildbrumby Negroni and top up with Fever Tree Blood Orange Soda. Garnish with a slice of orange or a blood orange, and star anise.
Stay warm this winter, and don’t forget that all wildbrumby ingredients are available online or at our distillery door.
Liquid Apple-Butterscotch Pie
What’s better than apple pie? How about an apple pie with butterscotch… in liquid form!
That is exactly what this drink is. Delicious toffee notes from our signature wildbrumby Butterscotch Schnapps matched with cinnamon spice and apple sweetness. You’ll want a second serving of this drink. Better still, it is low in alcohol volume. So, you can enjoy a little bit more after a long day on the slopes.
Ingredients:
200mL wildbrumby butterscotch schnapps 400mL cinnamon tea 400mL sparkling apple juice
How to make it:
Make the Cinnamon Tea by placing 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 cups water into a pot. Bring to boil and allow the tea to simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. At the same time, heat 2 cups of Sparkling Apple Juice in a separate pot over the stove and bring to the boil.
Once your cinnamon tea and sparkling apple juice are heated, add 100mL of each to a pre-heated mug and top with 50mL wildbrumby Butterscotch Schnapps. Repeat this step to achieve four serves and garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick.
Negroni Tea
Possibly the simplest cocktail on our list is the Negroni Tea. Our wildbrumby Negroni is an expert blend of our award-winning classic gin, our seasonal baked apple schnapps, and a dash of homemade Italian bitters. It’s all there in the bottle. Ready for you to enjoy over ice with a slice of orange. Imbued with vibrant spices, there is only one thing that could make this cocktail more perfect for winter – give it a hot twist!
Ingredients:
120mL rooibos tea 60mL wildbrumby negroni
How to make it:
Add boiled water and rooibos tea to a teapot and brew for 4 – 5 minutes. For one serve, pour 120mL of rooibos tea into a pre-heated mug and top with 60mL of wildbrumby Negroni. Rooibos tea combined with our wildbrumby Negroni is vibrant in colour and has a berry, spice-filled scent that will awaken your senses all by itself.
