As the winter sets in, everyone is at their best to keep themselves warm throughout the chilly season.
Apart from dressing warmly and staying indoors, there are also warm drinks that can provide the necessary heat for your body.
Here are ten amazing warm drinks with alcohol you probably haven’t known of. Please keep in mind that this is meant for individuals over 21!
1. Chocolate infused with Cinnamon and enjoyed with wine
When you blend chocolate together with cinnamon and wine, what do you get? A neat Cinnamon Chocolate Wine latte!
Simply take some rouge (red) wine and add a little warm milk before giving it a dash of cinnamon. Depending on how you wish to entertain yourself, measure out the wine in an ideal ratio. It takes practice to get the right punch, but it is totally worth it in the end.

2. Rum Chata Hot Cacao
RumChata is a popular cocktail that has a tinge of the regular cinnamon toast crunch. Since it is a cocktail, you can get creative with the ingredients – just ensure that there are rum and cacao powder somewhere in there.
By rum, we mean Rum-Chata from your Wines and Spirits depot. Simply add three parts of rum-chata mixed with warm milk to 1 part of hot cacao and you are good to go!
