Fruity, creamy, high-proof or simply a good beer - we show you a few absolute must-drinks for the cold season. Whether you're looking for specific recipes or just inspiration, you'll find it here.
From the classics mulled wine and fruit punch to hot cocktail variations: The combination of fruit and heat always goes down well - and can even be healthy. If you prepare your hot drinks with fresh fruit, use little sugar and keep temperatures moderate, you'll get a real vitamin bomb. Our mulled gin probably isn't exactly that, but it's still damn tasty. Here is the recipe.
You will need around five glasses:
Preparation:
Citrusy gins with a rather subtle juniper aroma are best suited for this. For example:
Can't have winter without mulled wine? Then we have just the thing for you! In our article on mulled wine, you'll find a really good recipe, tips and interesting facts about this cult drink.
If you prefer something less fruity, it's best to opt for dairy products on snowy winter days. Whether it's a hot chocolate (with or without a shot) or a spiced latte - nothing creates as much comfort as the feeling of creamy, warm, prepared milk on the tongue. Coffee specialties simply taste best with milk, especially in winter. However, the most exciting milk creation for winter does not come from a cow.
Sweet, spicy, tangy - and simply delicious! What you need for this Ayurvedic drink:
Preparation:
Golden milk can also be drunk cold. Simply mix the honey water with the coconut milk and serve.
A real treat even without milk, but with eggs and cream: Eggnogg, also known as eggnog in this country. Refined with rum, eggnog is a great creamy alternative to mulled wine.
Rum is generally ideal for cold days. The sugar cane schnapps cuts a fine figure in the Feuerzangenbowle, in grog or in punch. But we have another recommendation for you: Whisky. It is used in an Anglo-Saxon classic, the hot toddy. It's very easy to make:
Ingredients for two mugs of hot toddy:
Preparation:
Hot drinks are all well and good, but sometimes it just has to be a gin and tonic. The Roshain gins or the spicy hop gin from Braumanufaktur Hertl are particularly suitable on cold days for a chilled, yet seasonally appropriate gin cocktail or long drink. The botanicals in Monsieur Sauer's winter gin, which you can also buy in our store, have even been specially adapted for cold weather.

The perfect winter beer? Of course, it always depends on individual taste. But just as fruity, fresh hop explosions make every summer evening unforgettable, some beers carry the flavor of a memorable winter evening. Dark ales and stout varieties in particular are suitable for snowy evenings in front of the fireplace due to their generally heavy, sweet notes. Some breweries even brew dedicated winter beers. Here are our winter beer recommendations:
