Scotch or rum will do just fine, as well. And with the rise of haute-cocktail culture, wintertime drinkers are ensured a bevy of non-alcoholic ingredients that accommodate the more potent components of a hot cocktail in the most sizzling way.
Cinnamon and cloves, apples and pears, bitters and sugars, chocolate and cream — these are the great supporting actors in the classic winter cocktail.
