Winter, climate change, and pandemic – those concepts all happening under one full season are very problematic, even just by thinking of them alone. To let go of such mental and psychological stress from dealing with those problems, it will be better if there is a nice and relaxing way to enjoy at least a few moments. Since you cannot go outside and scream out of frustration, maybe all you need is the right drink.
Enter the “Winter Warmer,” a cocktail drink suited for the harsh, cold times. If a description is needed, the drink can taste somewhere between the likes of an espresso martini and a Mudslide. The ingredients include coffee, Irish cream, and vodka.
Furthermore, a finite amount of Fernet-Branca and anise flavor is added. These additions heighten the sweet taste, incorporate intense menthol and provide a refreshing delight. As long as the snow and coldness keep on pouring, the more relaxing this drink will be. Here is the complete list of ingredients and a summarized set of directions:
