Actually, there is not very much alcohol in all of them and the degree is low, but these drinks warm up much better than regular tea or coffee. However, in order not to order a cocktail that you will not like, it is better to understand its components in advance. For example, what is the difference between mulled wine and punch, and both of them - from the Swedish Christmas drink? What drinks did the cunning French come up with, and what will delight gourmets with a higher degree?

(German flaming wine, hot wine). This is the most famous and popular of the hot alcoholic drinks, which is prepared almost everywhere in winter with minor national differences. Mulled wine is red wine boiled with sugar and spices; very often fruits are added there. It appeared in the Middle Ages in Europe, was originally made on the basis of Bordeaux and claret. Now red dry and semi-dry wines are used for preparation. Mulled wine is prepared in winter in almost all European countries, sold from stalls at Christmas markets, and in many cities such stalls are open from December to February - you can have a glass, stopping for a minute on the street. However, there are slight differences between countries. For example, in Germany, a little rum and agave syrup are added to wine, in England - gin, honey and rosehip syrup. There is even white mulled wine for those who do not like red wine.

In France there are many original drinks, which are produced only in this country, and Calvados is one of them. It is obtained by distilling apple cider, and with the onset of the cold season in Normandy, they begin to prepare a hot cocktail based on Calvados. No wonder they make it here! The classic local recipe suggests the presence of Calvados, apple juice and ginger. The mixture should be quite hot, but not scalding, and is usually served in clear glasses. This is a fragrant, warming and very healthy drink.

(English grog). The spiced rum diluted with water was invented by Edward Vernon, nicknamed Old Grog, Vice Admiral of the British Navy, back in the 18th century. In order to save money, he ordered the sailors to distribute rum diluted with hot or cold water, and the crew suddenly liked it. The drink took root, over time, spices were added there, and now it is one of the most popular hot cocktails. Grog - quick and easy to prepare winter drink, since you need a little spices here (usually cinnamon, ginger and cloves, and even then if desired), you only need strong alcohol and lemon juice. Sometimes milk, honey or coffee infusion is added and the resulting drink is served in porcelain cups. Traditional rum-based grog is served either in Irish coffee glasses or in warmed glasses with glass holders.

In the north of Europe, mainly in Germany, Poland and Sweden, they came up with a drink with hot beer. Its taste is rather peculiar, although this does not negate the warming properties. Beer is a tricky thing, and you have to be very careful when heating it, so the "hot beer" recipe also includes eggs, sugar, and lemon, plus some nutmeg. Light wheat beer is used for preparation. Sometimes there is also a "dark" version - then brandy and coffee liqueur are added to the beer. To complete the picture and an interesting combination of flavors, whipped cream is also added on top. This cocktail is a must-try if you see it on the menu! Mulled wine is sold on every corner, and such exotics are prepared only for true gourmets.

(English punch)- the collective name of cocktails. A cheerful collective drink, which is so pleasant to prepare for a large company. Now this name is collective: if in England, which got the idea of punch in colonial India, it is still a drink with rum, then, for example, in Germany, punch is usually called a mixture of fruit juices with spices and the addition of wine or liquor. Everyone agrees on one thing: fruit must be present in a punch. Usually these are apples, lemons, oranges, pears. Prone to originality, the French add melon, strawberries and bourbon vanilla to their version of punch.

Cocktail" Old Tom". It's time to warm up those who prefer whiskey. The Old Tom cocktail is very fond of conservative Englishmen: apparently, the name and composition resemble the patriarchal atmosphere of closed clubs, the soft light of table lamps and the invariable cigar smoking in an ashtray. The composition includes whiskey, water (which must be hot), honey and a little lemon juice. It also happens that cinnamon stick and cloves are first boiled in boiling water, and then whiskey, sugar, lemon and honey are added. Couple lemon wedges be sure to put in the glass itself. You will not find this cocktail at street vendors, but in most cafes it is served quite often in winter.

Invented over a hundred years ago in Ireland, Irish coffee is made up of hot black coffee, Irish whiskey, brown sugar and whipped cream. According to the main version, its author is the bartender of the Irish international airport "Shannon" Joseph Sheridan, who figured out adding whiskey to the coffee of frozen Americans and called this mixture Irish coffee. The highlight of this cocktail is not only the contrast of coffee and whiskey, but also the combination of a hot drink and cold whipped cream.

The sweetest drink is, of course, hot chocolate. And if you add rum to it, as they do in winter time in many European countries, it turns into an incredibly warming one. Sometimes not thick hot chocolate is used for cooking, but cocoa, but this does not interfere with the taste. To prepare the drink, you need dark Cuban or Jamaican rum, from the Dominican Republic it is also suitable. Vanilla, grated coconut, or even chili peppers are sometimes added for flavor. It happens that rum is replaced by liquor or vodka (then the drink, like many mixtures with vodka, is called "Russian" - we are not forgotten in Europe). In addition to being warming, this drink is also highly nutritious and will keep you going until your next meal.

(Swedish Christmas drink). This Scandinavian version of mulled wine is definitely worth a try in Sweden, Denmark or Norway. It resembles the German version, but tastes much sweeter due to the addition of raisins to the wine. The recipe also includes apples, lemon, cloves, cinnamon and almonds. In Denmark, ginger is added to this, and Sweden generally pours vodka and pours cardamom into it. The result is warm for a long time. To make the taste sensation even better, it is recommended to have a snack Glögg gingerbread, oranges and tangerines. In cafes and restaurants, it is served in glasses and glasses, on the street it is poured into simple plastic cups and cooked in vats. And according to the Glögg tradition, you must first smell it, inhaling the aroma deeply, and then drink it.

Vin chaud is a specific French version of mulled wine, which is served on special occasions. This is the gourmet's favorite when it comes to winter cocktails. It is served in glasses, and added to the warmed wine. lemon oil, Provencal rosemary and almonds. The traditional components of mulled wine - all these citrus fruits, apples, cinnamon, cloves, ginger - are not welcome: it is believed that they will spoil the noble taste of the drink. But families and simpler restaurants do not hesitate to add all this. In the south of France, you can’t do without an orange at all. In vain there are, perhaps, so many of them - the good does not disappear. And with orange, the wine becomes even more aromatic.
