Here are three hot drinks, fragrant and comforting, for cool fall and winter evenings. The mulled wine and cider recipes are for party-size amounts (ladle into small mugs or punch cups from a big pot on the stove or from a crock pot set on “low”) but the hot buttered rum recipe makes one serving, because that’s how you must compose this beverage: one mug at a time – or at least only a few servings at one time. When using (or adding) liquor to these recipes, remember that flavor intensifies upon heating, so a poor-tasting wine, for example, will taste even worse when warm!
