Now that we are in the dead of winter on top of a pandemic, friend of the show and mixologist Ivy Mix returns to kick off the weekend with some suggestions for cold weather cocktails—from hot toddies to Irish coffee—and we’ll take listener calls.

Check out the recipes below, courtesy of Ivy Mix.

Mulled Wine
1 bottle red wine or about 25 oz of left over wine
5 oz Grand Marnier
2 crushed cinnamon sticks
1 whole cardamom pod
4 all spice
8 cloves
zest of one orange
1 tbs brown sugar or maple syrup
top with grated nutmeg

Hot Toddy
REMEMBER TO PRE HEAT YOUR MUG!
2 oz of spirit of your choice (Irish Whiskey and Powers in particular is the classic)
1 tsp of sweetener of some sort, sugar, maple, honey, what have you
Lemon peel, lemon wheel or even a 1/2 oz of lemon juice
Hot water
Garnish with the lemon wheel, a cinnamon stick or my favorite of punching cloves through the star of the lemon wheel.

Hot Zombie
("A more advanced drink that we feature at Leyenda")
.5 oz lime juice
.5 oz passionfruit puree
.5 oz honey
1 oz pineapple juice
2 oz rum of juice or a blend
Heat glass and rinse with absinthe spritz and pour in heated ingredients.
Put in a pad of butter and grate cinnamon and nutmeg on top
