5 to Try: Hot Takes on Classic Cocktails

When temperatures start to dip, there’s nothing like a winter warmer to take the edge off the chill. Cozy up to these hot versions of beloved classics, from a steaming tea-like Pimm’s Cup to a toddy-style Negroni.

Hot Flat White Russian

A White Russian reimagined for a café setting with steaming-hot oat milk and espresso.

Hot Oaxacan Penicillin

For an even more warming version of the modern classic, switch out the scotch with tequila and mezcal and turn up the heat. 

Hot Pimm’s Cup

Dauphine‘s warming version of the sunny-day classic translates well into a hot, tea-like sipper.

J & Tony’s Hot Negroni

Just when it seemed like the well of Negroni riffs has been sufficiently tapped, along comes this toddy-style version.

Penicillin Hot Toddy

Since the modern classic already features the makings of a cold-soothing hot toddy, its transformation into a winter warmer is a cinch.
