Beer, whisky, cider, rum: 12 winter drinks that will blow your mind
FROM Golden Gaytime beer to candied whisky and rambunctious rum, here are 12 exciting winter drink alternatives to celebrate the publication of our Top 100 Wines liftout in Saturday’s Advertiser.
MANY of us pretend to despise seasons of the Earth’s sustenance but secretly we relish their opportunities.
We love the prospect of a few spare coins for a glass of coveted spirit near a warmed hearth.
The mind drifts to evocative thoughts of country gum smoke, a respite in the drizzle and a warming stubbie of robust, smoky stout, single malt whisky – even the perky acidity in a Hills cider – around a campfire.
We have lifted the lid on a pandora’s box of match-worthy offerings that, for one excuse or the other, seem tailored to cooler climes.
This year, we’re rapt with single malt whiskies so there are plenty of them. Rum comes to the fore with winter warming, especially with traits of seasonal spice. And while best beers are always subjective, there are a few – new and old – that are forecast to change your outlook in this mixed dozen.
