Winter is here, and nothing beats snuggling up with a glass of warm, rich wine or festive spirits. Whether you’re celebrating the holidays or just trying to beat the cold weather, Vail has a variety of winter drinks to choose from. In this blog post, with the help of an affordable liquor store near me, we’ll take a look at some of the best winter wines and spirits in Vail to help you make the most of your winter months.
Mulled Wine
When it comes to winter wine, mulled wine is a classic choice. It’s warm, sweet, and perfect for sipping by the fireplace. Some of the best mulled wine in Vail can be found at Terra Bistro. Their signature recipe blends red wine with spices such as cinnamon and cloves, and is served hot with a slice of orange. It’s a perfect drink to keep you warm while enjoying the winter landscapes.
Hot Buttered Rum
If you’re looking for something a little stronger, hot buttered rum is a popular choice for the winter season. The Remedy Bar at the Four Seasons Vail is the ultimate destination for this tasty cocktail. Their recipe features spiced butter mixed with rum, hot water, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Your taste buds will thank you for this remarkable winter treat.
Irish Coffee
Winter mornings call for a cup of Irish coffee to keep you warm. The Irish gastropub, Paddy’s in Vail village, is a great spot to enjoy this beverage. Their recipe features freshly brewed coffee combined with a splash of Irish whiskey and a drizzle of caramel, topped with whipped cream. It is the quintessential morning drink for colder days. Spiced Hot Toddy
A hot toddy is already a winter favorite, but Vail’s Apres Handcrafted Libations takes things to the next level with their spiced hot toddy. Check out their recipe, where the drink is made with spiced apple cider and bourbon, mixed with cloves and cinnamon, finished with a splash of lemon juice. It is the perfect way to warm up after spending a day on the slopes.
Winter Spiced Sangria
If you prefer a wine drink that is a little lighter in body, the winter spiced sangria is perfect for you. Bart & Yeti’s is where you can sip on this drink that combines red wine infused with seasonal spices such as cinnamon, oranges, and cranberries. Make it a special drink by adding a drop of brandy, and you’ll have a shared winter drink that will warm up the crowd.
Winter in Vail is a special time of year, and these winter wines and spirits are sure to make it even more memorable. Enjoy mulled wine at Terra Bistro, hot buttered rum at the Remedy Bar, Irish Coffee at Paddy’s, spiced hot toddy at Apres Handcrafted Libations, or winter spiced sangria at Bart & Yeti’s. No matter what you choose, these drinks will transport you into a warm and cozy winter paradise. Cheers!
