Even some drinks that are served cold or at room temperature can help you feel warm and cozy this winter. Whisky is a top option and there are many ways of enjoying this classy drink.<br \/>\nSuburban<br \/>\nThis is a classy cocktail perfect for winter and it includes a blend of dark rum, port, rye whisky, and two types of bitters.It is served in a Martini glass to make this drink even more elegant.<br \/>\nManhattan<br \/>\nA popular and well-known drink, this cocktail includes rye whisky. It is the perfect cocktail to serve over the holidays and even after the holidays are long over.<br \/>\nEsky&#8217;s Hot Spot<br \/>\nThis drink requires a blend of Irish whisky, a sugar cube, water and a lemon peel. You can add some nutmeg too if you like. It is a bit more refreshing than the rest but the whisky will ensure that you warm up as it rolls over your pallet.<br \/>\nMillionaire<br \/>\nFor this drink, you need rye whisky, grenadine, Grand Marnier, and egg whites. Just like the other drinks mentioned above, this drink is served in a cocktail glass to make it even more elegant and make you feel like a million bucks as you take each sip.<br \/>\nIrish Coffee<br \/>\nThis is a wonderful warmer for the winter months. You simply need to brew some fresh coffee. While you wait, you can dissolve some sugar (if desired) in a shot of whisky in your mug or Irish Coffee cup. You can pour the coffee over this mixer and stir before topping with whipped cream and a sprinkle of hot chocolate or something similar for decoration.<br \/>\nLine up the shots<br \/>\nWhisky is a popular shot and it can be enjoyed on its own or even on the rocks. Make sure that you choose a quality whisky when serving shots or on the rocks. A Suitcase is a popular shot that requires a shot of whisky followed by a shot of passion fruit cordial. Both shots are taken one after the other (whisky first) but not swallowed. You swirl them around in your mouth and then swallow. For this shot, it&#8217;s important that you use Jack Daniel&#8217;s whisky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the winter months, there are few things better than sitting back and enjoying your favourite drink.
