Sure, a warm mug of milk might be the stuff of childhood memories, but embrace being an adult and booze it up a little. Combine your daily calcium intake with the wintery touch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Throw in some whiskey and you’ll be snug as a rug.
Ingredients:
A cup of chai, m’dear? Mix up the bog standard masala chai with a hit of Irish cream liqueur. Creamy, comforting and the epitome of cozy – the ideal drink after a brisk autumn walk.

Here’s a relatively new cocktail created in the winter of 1943. The legend goes, it was created by a chef for passengers from a transatlantic Pam Am flying boat forced to return back to Ireland due to bad weather. Since then, the drink has now gone global.
Ingredients:
Black coffee
Brown sugar
Irish whisky
Double cream

Now go pour yourself a stiff one. The weather’s only going to get colder after all.
