Best Spirits for Cold Nights
When the nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing quite like getting cosy with a warming glass of your favourite drinks. Well, that's what we think!
It can be alcoholic or not, both offer warmth and a sense of peace when the nights start to draw in earlier and ealier.
From smooth Scotch whisky to spiced rum and aromatic gin, the right drink can turn a chilly evening into a comforting ritual. Here are some of the best spirits to enjoy on cold nights, all available at right here at Threshers.
Scotch Whisky: A Classic Warmer
Few drinks rival the cosy satisfaction of whisky on a cold evening. Whether you prefer a smoky Islay single malt, a smooth Highland blend, or a rich Speyside dram, Scotch is made for sipping slowly by the fire. Try it neat, over a cube of ice, or mixed into a hot toddy for the ultimate winter warmer.

Spiced Rum: Sweet and Comforting
With notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, spiced rum brings instant warmth to chilly nights. Mix it with ginger beer for a fiery kick, stir it into hot apple cider, or simply enjoy it neat over ice. Its versatility makes it a must-have in any autumn drinks cabinet.

Brandy: Rich and Relaxing
Brandy is often thought of as a Christmas staple, but it deserves a place in your glass throughout autumn and winter. Deep, fruity, and warming, it’s the perfect partner for a quiet night in. Serve it in a balloon glass to release its aromas, or use it to elevate classic cocktails like a Sidecar.

Gin: Seasonal Twists
Gin isn’t just for summer. Autumn and winter flavoured gins, such as sloe, blackberry, or spiced orange, are brilliant for cold nights. Top up with tonic or mix into a seasonal cocktail like a sloe gin fizz. Their fruity, spiced notes bring a festive edge without being overpowering.

Tequila and Mezcal: Smoky Surprises
While often associated with summer margaritas, tequila and mezcal can be wonderfully warming. A smoky mezcal neat is bold and satisfying, while aged tequila (añejo) offers rich caramel notes that are perfect for sipping. Try one of these spirits if you want something different on a cold night.
