Warm Alcoholic Drinks For Cold Weather

“Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for alcohol-laced warm drinks for cold-weather camping, and if you'd share the recipe.

Why I'm wondering is that Capn Bobo made some preeetty tasty drinks on his stove during the Santanoni trip and since then I wished I'd've taken better notes on the concoctions. Been thinking of doing the same for Hunter Mtn but I don't have ANY ideas.

Well?”

“Buddur, Bobo's signature drink is TnT. Wild Turkey 101 with Crystal light powdered tea mix.
In the winter he heats it up on the stove.
I was thinking about bringing that or pepermint scnapps and hot cocoa.”

“We will get along fine! We think along the same lines.”

“gluewein: you can find it in the military liquor stores.

hot apple cider (the powder packages) with rum or brandy...something like that. good stuff!!”

“kahluah and hot chocolate

Irish Whiskey and coffee

Apple cider and rum”

“15yr+, straight up will probably feel warm no matter what the temperature is. I've had it at 35F and it warmed me up! Have not tested it lower than that.”

“Well, I'm bringing a small flask of Bookers Bourbon. Whether it gets mixed into a tasty libation remains to be seen.”

“I have a bottle - can I drink it straight? Say, doing "half shots"?”

“Hot Whiskey

Whiskey of your choice (tho' Irish is traditional)
tsp sugar
hot water
twist of lemon

Boil enough water to fill mug twice. Fill mug with water to warm it initially. After a few moments, dump the water and add whiskey and sugar. Stir. Rim the mug with the lemon twist then drop it into the whiskey & sugar. Fill with more hot water. Stir... and Enjoy!

(It's great for headcolds, too)”

“kahluah and hot chocolate

hell yea!”

“Stright 18 to 20+ old scotch!

“Cinnamon schnapps and cider

Peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate”

“you can't beat hot chocolate and Cognac”

“My two favorites are;
hot chocolate and Rumplemintz
hot mulled cider and Captain Morgan's”

“VSOP or Better.

“College hasn't coprupted me, but hanging around my friends that college has, has corupted me. Beer has tought me some very improtant lessons in life.”

“At our Christmas tree parties, someone cooked a drink on the stove, with spices and something alcoholic, pronounced "gloog" and would knock you on your butt.”

“"FG, what is Rumplemintz?"

It is the very highest quality, 100 proof peppermint schnapps, darlin'.”

“From June Russell's Health Facts...

Cold Weather

Alcohol is a depressant, can slow the heart and also hasten the ill effects of cold body temperatures.
{Senior Weather Busters Fact Sheet}

To keep sinuses clear in winter it is suggested that you avoid alcohol, which can cause congestion and dehydration, making mucus thicker.
{Parade magazine, Feb. 1992}

Stay away from alcohol if you will be exposed to the cold. Alcohol dilates peripheral blood vessels near the surface of the body, and so steals crucial warmth from internal organs. Although alcohol seems to warm the gullet, the end result can be to pull the heat out and accelerate the problem of hypothermia. Also alcohol interferes with the good judgment that might otherwise persuade one to come in from the cold.
{Rick Weiss, Washington Post Health, Feb. 1995}

Do not drink alcohol or caffeine: they contribute to dehydration.
{“Stay Cool, healthy during periods of intense heat,” HealthCentral.com -7/23/00}

Avoid alcohol and caffeine when possible since they both drain you of more fluid than you take in by drinking them.
{Health Sciences Institute newsletter, August 2000}

An individual will fatigue faster in cold weather, and your body works harder just to keep you warm. Drinking water in cold weather before and after exercise is even more critical in cold temperatures. In cold weather, your body loses moisture not just from sweating, but from breathing, when you use moisture to heat the cold air. Cold winds also foster dehydration and when you are tired, your body has less energy to handle the stress of producing extra heat (no mention of alcohol’s negative effects).
{“Feel the Freezer Burn!" - Washington Post Health, Jan 16, 2001, by Heidi Splete}

*Author’s comment: If a person drinks the eight glasses of pure water recommended each day, there will be little room for alcoholic beverages. Those who drink alcohol need to drink additional water because alcohol dehydrates the body.”

“Take your namby-pamby post and shove it up your watery arse, M Silver, we're busy drinkin' here...


Go over to backpacker.com and have a Perrier...”

“Pooty Parper.”

“Twig Rumpleminz is what i had on the Maine trip this fall.”

“oh, that stuff I licked off the floor of the lean-to?
LOL...”

“I thought this was a thread for alcoholics who were looking for warm drinks.”

“gotta love a drink with butter as a main ingredient! LOL!”

“Butter and alcohol- a winning combination!”

“hizell yeah! now we just need to figure out a way to fry it, too...”

“I bet you could do it. They can fry nything these days. I bet they do it down south.”

“Hot buttered rum. Yeah. But I'm not hauling ice cream on a hike to make it, sooo:
Harvey's hot buttered rum batter, mixed with Baccardi 151! The 151 saves 1/2 your alcohol weight.

Hot chocolate and homemeade kahlua on snowshoe "dayhikes". Yummy.”

“All of the above plus Baileys and coffee. Hot chocolate and peppermint schnaps (already listed?) But please not all at the same time.

Oh and Gem you can make gluhwein by adding mulling spices and orange slices to a rich full bodied red. It's never as good as from the corner vendor at the Kristkindlemarkt though eh?”

“once last year i made a brunch drink with coffee, hot chocolate, Bailey's, Kahlua, vodka, and Frangelico. that should be against the law! LOL!”

“You're all a bunch of drunks. lol”

“Tilt, your recipe for whiskey is basically what my ENT doc gave me as his prescription for my nagging cough, although he replaced the sugar with honey and didn't go into the preparation steps in such detail. He said it was as good or better for you than any of the over-the-counter cough syrups. That's my kind of doc.”

“pekka,
Are you drunk or do you have a cold?”

“Warm Tang and vodka is good. But then again, everything goes good with tang.”

“lumberzac, I'm not drunk, nor A drunk, and at the moment I don't have a cold. What I do have is a "hypersensitivity" such that various environmental aspects can trigger an irritating hack, such as dry air, moving from cold air to hot or vice versa, smoke, etc. And, no, I don't treat it with whiskey at every little cough nor at work. But in the right setting, should my throat be giving me fits, a little Famous Grouse, honey and lemon is more pleasant as a treatment than Robitussen.”

“Hot Crystal-lite lemonade with rum or brandy

Korbel Brandy, heat the flask in boiling water and pass it around during the evening bull session.
I take my flask to bed with me to keep it warm.

Tea and Brandy (I like chamomille) before bed.”

“Warm Tang and vodka is good. But then again, everything goes good with tang."
