In the winter months there is nothing better than warming up with your favourite drink<\/a>. Even drinks served cold or at room temperature can warm you from the inside. Below is a list of some of the best whisky tips and drinks to get you through the winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Irish coffee<\/h2>\n

For a real Irish coffee, you’ll need an Irish whisky! Once you’ve selected your favourite bottle, it’s time to whip up a pot, whip up some cream, and get ready for a delicious variation on one of the world’s most popular hot drinks. If you’re not a fan of cream, you can omit it completely and how much sugar you add is entirely up to you. You can also use decaf if regular coffee keeps you up all night. Irish coffee is the perfect way to end any meal, and you might even want more than one! When preparing this drink, one of the best whisky tips to remember is to dissolve the sugar in the whisky before adding the hot coffee.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Manhattan<\/h2>\n

This cocktail calls for rye whisky and is a great option to consider when hosting a winter cocktail party or even a Christmas Eve dinner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Suburban<\/h2>\n

This is another elegant cocktail suitable for winter and consists of a mix of rye whisky, dark rum, port and two varieties of bitters. Served in a Martini glass, you’ll feel like a rock star with one of these in hand! Remember, using the right glass is another one of the most important whisky tips to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Esky hot spot<\/h2>\n

This cocktail was created by Esquire founder Arnold Gingrich and includes a mix of Irish whisky, water, a sugar cube and lemon zest. If you wish, you can also add a pinch of nutmeg, a rather popular option in winter. Although this drink is more refreshing, you will definitely feel nice and warm thanks to the whisky! When serving this drink, you should always make to order. Just like other beverages, important drinks and whisky tips always include making to order rather than preparing in advance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Millionaire<\/h2>\n

All you need for this amazing cocktail is rye whisky, Grand Marnier, grenadine and egg white! Like many other drinks mentioned above, this elegant drink is also served in a cocktail glass that will make you feel like a million bucks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t forget the shots!<\/h2>\n

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a quality whisky on its own. With ice or alone, as you prefer. Sit in your favourite spot in the living room, enjoy the warm firelight illuminating the room, and slowly sip your glass as you take some time to reflect on the past year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you prefer the “down the hatch” approach, there’s nothing like a suitcase! A shot of Jack Daniels followed by a separate shot of passion fruit syrup. Of course, unlike the rest of the ideas and whisky tips above, this drink is one that you may want to enjoy quickly and in smaller quantities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
