Winter holidays are coming and you need to be prepared! I am not talking about the presents and Christmas decorations, I’m talking about holiday party. I want to present a super nice cocktail for the winter events. This hot cider with some spices, a bit of whiskey and topped with a whipped cream, warms you up and creates a nice festive mood.

Be careful it’s really hot!
