2. Hot Buttered Rum

The sound of it is enough to make anyone’s mouth water! Bring water, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to a boil in a pan. Once that’s done, remove from the stove, and stir in the rum. Your hot cocktail is ready!

It’s really perfect for a winter evening with friends, while watching a kick-ass movie, maybe?

5. Mulled Pear And Ginger Drink

It’s a known fact that ginger is ‘the’ ingredient for winter. Apart from fighting cold, it builds up your immunity. Jamie Oliver has taken ginger and thrown it in with pear to make the most amazing drink ever.

Boil apple juice in a pan, and then add ginger, pears, cinnamon, cardamom and sugar. Squeeze in lemon and voila, your hot cuppa is ready!
