Winter Drink Recipes

November 3, 2019 by Alexandra Daum
Hand pouring tall jar of cranberry tea into glass.

This collection of winter drink recipes includes both alcoholic and alcohol-free options, with some great holiday-inspired ideas to carry you through winter. From hot winter drinks to thirst quenching cold ones, there’s something for everyone here.

These festive holiday drinks are healthier than most, using unrefined sweeteners, whole fruit, and are vegan for the most part. I hope you can find some inspiration here, either to celebrate over Christmas or New Year’s, or just for a wintery night in.

Orange Ginger Beer Mocktail
This alcohol free orange ginger beer mocktail is a healthier twist on a mimosa mocktail. Perfect for New Year's Eve celebrations!
5 mins
Two glasses of an orange mocktail with a sparkler in the background.
Cashew Gingersnap Lattes
Gingersnap spices, dark brown sugar, and whole cashews blended with hot coffee make the creamiest vegan gingersnap lattes in minutes. 
Two mugs with lattes and topped with cinnamon.
Cranberry Ginger Tea
Easy and healthy cranberry tea, made with ginger, orange, and fresh cranberries. This beautiful tea is great all winter long, with some much needed colour!
30 mins
Hand stirring a spoon in a glass of bright red tea.
Citrus and Ginger Root Tonic
Fresh citrus juice mixed with the heat of fresh ginger root and cayenne pepper. This recipe is quite hot taste-wise, but can also be sweetned to your liking.
A small bottle with a citrus drink and a straw.
Deluxe Dairy Free Hot Chocolate
This dairy free hot chocolate is made with oat milk, enriched with cacao butter, and sweetened with maple syrup or honey. Raw cacao adds a deep chocolate flavour, with a touch of vanilla and a tiny pinch of sea salt to round it out.
5 mins
Earl Grey Mocktail With Grapefruit And Honey
The perfect sipper when you don’t feel like drinking alcohol, yet want something a bit fancier than water or iced tea.
A glass of orange drink with kumquats and ice.
Pimm’s Lemon Crush Cocktail
Pimm’s Lemon Crush cocktail pairs the botanical flavour of Pimm’s with bourbon and a sweet-tart citrus syrup. Substitute maple syrup for citrus if you prefer!
Spiced Pear Cider
Pear cider makes a nice seasonal alternative to apple, with a slightly milder flavour and plenty of warming spices. This version is made partly with juice to speed up the process slightly.
1 hr 40 mins
Cider in three glasses with cinnamon sticks.
Chamomile Latte
This latte is a great drink to sip come evening or past that point when caffeine doesn't serve you well.
A large mug of a foamy drink with cinnamon on top.
Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea
This easy and delicious lemon ginger turmeric tea, mixed with honey and lemon, is the best sore-throat tea you can make at home.
35 mins
Woman holding a glass of yellow tea.
Aquafaba Grapefruit Gin Sour Cocktail
A short, sour grapefruit cocktail made with gin – the frothy topping (which is usually achieved with egg white) is made using aquafaba (chickpea liquid) meaning this gin sour is completely vegan!
Three glasses of a pink cocktail with foamy tops.
Banana Avocado Milkshake
A super-simple avocado milkshake, with no ice cream! Frozen bananas make for a creamy base here, alongside dairy-free yogurt plus avocados.
5 mins
Close up of avocado milkshake in three glasses with avocados around.
Blood Orange Margarita
This quick recipe for a homemade blood orange margarita is a perfect escape from the winter blues! Almost as good as a hot sunny beach.
