This cold just won’t go away, will it? While it limits many of the outdoor activities you enjoy, the good news is that you will find yourself with a little more time. Skip the bar, grabbing a beer and going over to your friends’ houses in favor of making your own cocktails. Actually, have your friends over and build out your at-home bar. Here’s 5 of the best wintry cocktails to impress any and everyone:

The Manhattan

A classic. Everyone loves a bourbon and sweet-vermouth concentrated Manhattan.

 

The Last Word

Your gin drinking fellows with appreciate this one. Notes of lime and a blast of green herbs and spices make this a delight.

 

Coquito

Think White Russian but rum and coconut. So not really the same, but delicious nonetheless.

 

Whisk(e)y

Not a cocktail, per se, but just as delicious is a great whiskey neat or with a quality ice cube. Here’s a list of the best scotch you will find under $100.

 

Irish Coffee

Guaranteed to warm the palette and soul on even the coolest of days is this boozy cup of Joe. Use good beans, please.
