The British-controlled Indian Subcontinent was the first to introduce hot alcoholic drinks. The first version consisted of boiling water and scotch. As time went on, hot water started to take on the flavors of herbs and spices. A variety of hot alcoholic drinks are available today.
Irish coffee
An Irish coffee is an alcoholic hot drink that's caffeinated and made with Irish whiskey, hot coffee, sugar, cream, and milk. Traditionally, the drink is filtered through thick cream. This makes the drink very refreshing. Next, pour the whiskey on top and stir it.
This drink goes by many names including Gailic Coffee, Caife Gaelach and Caife Gaelach. It originated at an airfield outside Limerick, which is now home to Shannon International Airport. It became popular after Joe Sheridan, a famous Irish restaurant chef, took it to Foynes, Ireland, for an emergency landing. Stanton Delaplace passed it on to his late friend Stanton Delaplace who made it a worldwide hit.
Spiked white hot chocolate
Spiked White Hot Chocolate celebrates the season with a fun adult beverage. With white chocolate liqueur and bourbon, this drink warms you from the inside out. It's a great choice for a party or holiday movie night.
This is a very easy alcoholic drink to make. This drink starts with white chocolate chips, milk and sugar. Mix these ingredients together in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on a medium heat. Stir frequently. Let the mixture simmer for a minute. If necessary, add a splash bourbon.

This drink is mild in alcohol content, averaging around thirteen percent ABV (alcohol by volume), or 26 proof. This is comparable to a glass with wine and is relatively low in cocktail circles. If you're looking for warm and delicious coffee, Caramel Irish coffee might be the right choice.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. The chilled glass is preferred. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Mix well. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
