Sweeten Your Winter with These Unique Cocktail Ideas

Winter is in full force here in Fort Collins, Colorado – which means that cold temperatures have set in and snow is on the ground. Well, at least, we’ve had SOME snow so far in 2018. But while beautiful Colorado summers call for cold, refreshing cocktails that quench your thirst, Colorado winters summon a much different type of cocktail.

Mulberry MAX Liquor Store has found some unique winter cocktails that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, and you can pick up almost everything you need right here at our Old Town Fort Collins liquor store. These cocktails are not only easy to make, but perfect for cold Colorado winter nights.

Cinnamon Roll Cocktail

• One Part Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
• One Part Cream Soda
• Whipped Cream (optional)
• Cinnamon (optional)

This drink is easy to make, and is sure to raise some eyebrows in a sweet, cinnamon way. Top shots or glasses with plain or vanilla whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon for a breakfast favorite in a glass!

Apple Cranberry Moscow Mule

• 1/8 cup cranberry juice
• 1/4 cup sparkling apple cider
• 1 can ginger beer
• 2 oz. Vodka
• Fresh cranberries (frozen or thawed)

​A sweet twist on an all-time favorite, the apple cranberry Moscow mule is perfect for autumn or winter holiday parties. Try replacing the cranberries with blueberries, or adding slices of fresh apple.

Homemade S’mores Hot Chocolate
