SIMPLE HOT COCKTAILS for Winter!

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

That red wine lemonade sounds like a kind of winter Sangria! Yum.

[@RobsHomeBar]

That’s pretty much exactly what it is haha! Low abv but delicious!

[@UnclePete]

This Caldo sounds amazing. Going to have to try it.

[@RobsHomeBar]

I've already had about 4 of them since filming this! It's a great cold weather drinks without being overly heavy and sugary (like hot buttered drinks or coffee drinks)

[@CoachVinoLLC]

I knew I would love the Hot Amari before even watching the video. That sounds great. I super conflicted about hot cocktails. I think I don't care for them until I drink them. It's like I won't allow myself to admit I like them. hahaha!

[@RobsHomeBar]

It’s kind of hit and miss for me.. like the hot grog just didn’t do it for me because my brain kept shouting “why is this tiki drink hot??” 😂🤦‍♂️

[@mauikarenann2727]

Ok I think the coffee and tequila would be my first choice. Yummy. Maybe it was the whipped cream. Lol

[@RobsHomeBar]

It was really good, although it needs a touch of sugar and maybe a little more booze.. I would do 1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz grand marnier and maybe 1 or 2 sugar cubes

[@boozeontherocks]

I want all of these right now. it was -30 this morning.

[@RobsHomeBar]

I was a cold one for sure! 🥶

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Favourite hot cocktail is hot buttered rum or irish(any whisk(e)y) coffee.

[@RobsHomeBar]

Those are great! Have you tried the hot buttered green chartreuse?

[@stephane.foisy.186]

@@RobsHomeBar ya it great. Try hot buttered Calvados. It’s apple pie!!!

[@RobsHomeBar]

@@stephane.foisy.186 ooh.. good call! I still have some spiced butter!

[@Gigabajts]

Nice drinks, i think i'll try the Hot Grog! Though Rob, you should clean your bar mat

[@RobsHomeBar]

Haha I know right 🤦‍♂️

[@mauikarenann2727]

Thanks for all the info. Definitely ready for a hot drink. Very cold here in Colorado. 🥶

[@RobsHomeBar]

oh yes! It was -25 F in Ottawa yesterday!! 🥶

[@Decommissioning-this-channel]

These look great, sadly winters in my city are very VERY short, and not that cold, but still, why not have one of these huh 😊😉

[@RobsHomeBar]

You’re lucky! My eyeballs are freezing here!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Thank you so much for this Rob! I'm totally with Vino... as soon as I saw that Hot Amari, I knew it would be the drink for us. We've actually been having trouble getting our hands on Cynar- which is probably one of our favorite amari, but never tried Zucca Rabarbaro... gotta go find that one! It makes sense the Hot Grog didn't feel right... I guess try it as a cold grog and see what happens! Great video Rob!

[@RobsHomeBar]

Zucca is quickly becoming my fav amaro.. I has such a unique flavour! I have had about 5 hot Amari since filming this!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

@@RobsHomeBar Hahah... I can believe it. This new one "Select" from Venice started showing up at the LCBO that we've been enjoying, but I want to go for this Zucca! Thanks Rob! We'll keep our eyes peeled.

[@RobsHomeBar]

@@RhubarbAndCod I got mine at SAQ on the Québec side… but I’m sure I’ve seen it once or twice at lcbo

[@EverythingShakes]

Awesome 😎

[@RobsHomeBar]

these are nice for sure! perfect for cold weather!

[@christinecamley]

Rob, these Hot Cocktails for Winter all look delicious but I have to say I was in bliss mode when I saw the ingredients in the hot amari!! Oh I love these so much!! The Zucco is amazing. I'd put in a little bit of Demerara syrup in the Mexicano and bump in the booze a little but it looks so amazing and delicious!! Yumm!! Thanks Rob!! Terrific video as always!! Cheers!! :-)

[@RobsHomeBar]

Zucca is quickly becoming my favorite amaro, it's a shame it's not used in more cocktails! It has such a unique flavor! I'm curious if the Hot Amari could use a touch of lemon juice, I'm not sure, it's already really good... I might be overthinking it! lol

[@christinecamley]

@@RobsHomeBar Lol! I overthink a lot of things too! I think a bit of lemon juice might be really nice! I am going to try that tonight when I make this lovely hot cocktail! Cheers Rob! :-)

[@ShirotoraGodsbane]

I think with the Mexicano I would use overproof rum instead of tequila. I'm really not a tequila guy. Maybe add a chocolate liqueur, too, for a nice sweet touch.

[@RobsHomeBar]

That sounds awesome! I like the chocolate liqueur idea Cheers!

[@philgringo2438]

Hello Rob. Personally, I like to make my hot toddy with calvados as the main alcohol. The apple flavors go really well with the other ingredients in your second recipe and I infuse a little ginger and cinnamon in the hot water for more flavor. Cheers 👍🍹

[@RobsHomeBar]

That sounds great! I’ll have to give it a try! Cheers!
