If you\u2019re into sweet and creamy drinks, this one\u2019s made for you. It\u2019s probably the most playful recipe on our list\u2014everyone gets to toast their own marshmallows while the milk warms over the fire. This boozy marshmallow milkshake is as fun to make as it is to drink, and it\u2019s just as tasty without the Baileys for kids or anyone skipping the alcohol.<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 marshmallows<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 100ml almond milk (or your favorite milk)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 50ml Baileys Irish Cream<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp cocoa powder<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shaved dark chocolate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Warm the milk in a pan over the fire (or near it).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir in cocoa powder and Baileys, heat for another minute or two, then pour into a thermos.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Roast your marshmallows over the fire and place them at the bottom of a cup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shake the warm mixture in the thermos to make it frothy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pour over the marshmallows.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Top with shaved chocolate and maybe a cookie on the side\u2014it\u2019s heaven in a cup!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Mead, made from fermented honey and water, is one of the oldest known alcoholic drinks\u2014and a great one to share with someone special. In fact, the word \u201choneymoon\u201d comes from the ancient tradition of newlyweds drinking mead for a month to boost fertility. Whether or not it works, we prefer sipping it by the fire rather than chugging it for 30 days straight! This spicy version mixes sweet honey flavor with the tartness of apple juice and the richness of brandy. It\u2019s the perfect fall cocktail for Halloween camping trips or backyard bonfire nights.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 400ml mead<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 3 tbsp brandy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 200ml apple juice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2 lemon slices<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 4 whole cloves<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 cinnamon stick<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Add everything to a pan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Heat gently until just about to boil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remove cloves before serving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Growing up, this was our go-to when someone caught a cold. With lemon, ginger, and honey to soothe the throat\u2014and a splash of cheap Irish whiskey to knock out the germs\u2014this was Dad\u2019s cure-all. I can\u2019t say if it\u2019s medically proven, but it sure tastes good and warms you right up. Bonus: it makes a great nighttime sipper.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 or 2 shots (25\u201350ml) of Irish whiskey<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 thumb-sized slice of fresh ginger<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Juice from half a lemon<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp honey<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Boil water over the campfire.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In a mug, combine whiskey, ginger, and lemon juice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add the hot water.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir in honey.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Let sit a few minutes\u2014then wrap your hands around the mug and sip slowly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n This is the only iced cocktail on our list, but it still feels like a fall classic. Ginger wine has a warm, mellow spice and a syrupy smoothness that\u2019s just lovely. Mix it with J\u00e4germeister and a splash of lemon-lime soda over ice, and you\u2019ve got a drink that\u2019s way more chill than a typical J\u00e4gerbomb\u2014but just as strong if you\u2019re not careful. This combo reminds me of apr\u00e8s-ski parties and snowy terrace gatherings. Light, sweet, and sneakily powerful.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 60ml ginger wine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 30ml J\u00e4germeister<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A splash of lemon-lime soda<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wedge of lemon or lime<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fill a cup or jar with crushed ice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pour in ginger wine, J\u00e4ger, and soda.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir gently and garnish with citrus. Drink responsibly!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n There\u2019s nothing quite like a steaming cup of mulled wine around the holidays. Better still? A whole pot of it bubbling over a fire, sending waves of cinnamon-spiced aroma into the night air. For me, the first sip of mulled wine marks the true start of the Christmas season. I love pairing it with homemade mince pies, but it\u2019s just as delightful in late winter when you need a cozy moment with family and friends by the flames.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 bottle red wine<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 100ml brandy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 200ml orange juice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 orange, sliced<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 lemon, sliced<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2 tsp ground cinnamon<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp ground nutmeg<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp allspice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp ground cardamom<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 1 tsp ground cloves<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Combine all ingredients in a large pot.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Heat gently until steaming\u2014but don\u2019t let it boil.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ladle into mugs or jars and enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Making these cozy campfire cocktails is both a joy and a bit of an art.
