Winter Wedding Cocktail Ideas
May 6, 2026
Warm up your guests with cozy winter cocktails. These recipes are perfect for a cold-weather celebration.
Winter weddings call for warm, spiced drinks. A hot buttered rum combines dark rum, butter, brown sugar, and warm spices topped with whipped cream and nutmeg. Spiced mulled wine simmers red wine with cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and orange peel. A salted caramel hot chocolate with bourbon is decadent. A maple old fashioned features bourbon, maple syrup, and bitters — a classic Canadian twist. For non-alcoholic options, serve spiced apple cider and hot chocolate in a large dispenser with toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, and cinnamon sticks. Set up a hot chocolate bar with mix-ins for an interactive element your guests will love.
