Winter warming beverage

[Nefarious]

So, it's 40° outside, not as cold as.some.of you get, and approaching sundown. All this means jt will get colder. My son is coming over for dinner tonight and I am smoking him a tri tip. My usual habit, ask wife about the habit , is drinking IPA's during the cook. At this temp it seems like I need an alternative. I was thinking Irish Wiskey, but thought I'd ask to get some more idea's. I

Whats your favorite beverage when smoking in the cold dark nights?

If it’s a serious smoke in cold, 26* here and falling, Bailey’s and coffee is nice. If more relaxed, I’ve lately rediscovered the Soda Stream carbonated water with ice and Crown Royal, peach, vanilla or just regular. It’s nice.

Irish whiskey would work for me! My go to has been Evan Williams as of late.

I go with a good sipping rye. It’s dangerous though…whew. Once or twice when I’m not careful and locked in my own thoughts, I start speaking in cursive when it’s time to be social!

That’s funny right there. I don’t care who you are.

It is kinda complicated but I like a hot buttered rum for the cold weather

My father's favorite warmer this time of year was Tom & Jerry.
They are usually only found in December leading up to Christmas. Each establishment has their proprietary blend of whisky and brandy.
I used to choke one down at the local Legion Club (before they closed) in his memory.

A friend of mine will drink my hot buttered rum year around.
I have to look for the recipe. I left my computer at home

edit
My usual home is Minnesota, but this winter, I'm in Florida. Maybe in January or February, it will cool down enough for a toddy

No, actually it is Writer's Tears.

I’m a pretty simple man.....would be a heavily iced Coke Zero with 2 meyer wedges...... the alternate would be the zero with lime and coconut syrup.....ie a dirty Coke Zero...... both would be in a vacuum sealed SS thermos..... ie cold for cold!

Usually whisky, water, with a splash of pop. But sometimes ya need a sipper

I like Jamison for an Irish whisky.

So yankee2bbq tell me more...is that similar to Jamison? I'd have to check if we have it around here.
Do keep a couple homemade recipes around but they are kept in basement...much farther to walk to get a sip so they last much longer!

just have to sit and decide while I watch my Inkbird

As a man still sitting and shoveling his fresh 20 inches of snow from Friday 12/10 , yeah I'm still trying to find it all you know how that goes, all I want to say to you is fu... Fuel your passion in the warm weather. I'm happy for you not dealing with this crap.

Edit: let's not forget the TORNADOS from Wednesday either.

No ice, no soda pop, take your pick, it all goes well with meat. RAY

I used to do shots of Ol' Blabber Mouth. Now I just stick with beer.

Same here, I still drink them at the duck club. I love the smell when you open that little plastic tub that the mix comes in. Another one is a hot buttered rum, same as above.
