Winter drinks in Louisville

Warm up with seven winter cocktails and coffee drinks.

The weather outside is... well, you know how it goes.

Make time this winter to stare (dramatically) out of a frosty window and sip on one of these seasonal drinks.

🥃 Holiday Road Christmas Lager | Gravely Brewing, 514 Baxter Ave. | Notes of pear and ginger spice define this Weihnachtsbier-inspired, slow-and-cold fermented lager.

☕️ Peppermint White Mocha | The Breeze, 1247 Shelby St. | Available only at The Breeze’s new coffee bar and wine shop, this one is perfect for anyone cultivating the whipped-cream-on-your-nose look.

☕️ Sleigh All Day | Online, or any Heine Brothers location | Sip at home with a nostalgic blend of sweet-and-spicy fair trade coffee.

🥃 Cold Fashioned | Ten20 Douglass Loop, 2200 Bardstown Rd. | Try this classic with Old Forester, brown sugar simple syrup, and cold brew — or anything off Ten20’s winter café and cocktail menu, like the spiced London fog or Winona’s Apple Pie.

☕️ Rosemary Gingersnap Capp | Any Quills Coffee location | Warm up with a woodsy caffeine kick, or cool off with Quills’ “Billywix” butterscotch coffee mocktail.

☕️ Winterberry Mocha | Pregame Coffee, 1737 Frankfort Ave. | This cardamom-spiced white mocha is made in collaboration with Waterfront Gardens’ ”Gardens Aglimmer” show.
