Comforting hot beverages with a kick are always a fun treat.
Whether your preference is coffee, tea or hot chocolate, these drinks with your favourite spirit are sure to keep you warm and happy.
Hudsons Canada’s Pub
With two locations in the city, Hudsons is a great place to catch the latest game and unwind after a long day. Enjoy a boozy hot chocolate with Irish Cream Liqueur and Peppermint Schnapps topped with whipped cream and caramel.
Rooftop
There are a lot of fun drinks at Rooftop, Calgary’s climate-controlled rooftop patio. One of The Rooftop Originals is a boozy hot chocolate made with rum, peppermint and toasted marshmallow. This pairs deliciously with their Snickerdoodle Cobbler or White Chocolate Blondie.
Madisons 12|12
Located in Inglewood, Madisons 12|12 (Madi’s) is well known for their craft nachos and their poke. They have a great selection of drinks, too. Their hot chocolate is made with chocolate syrup, steamed milk and whipped cream, and you can choose either a shot of Bailey’s or a shot of Frangelico.
Egg and Spoon
While coffees and mimosas make the perfect accompaniments to breakfast or brunch, Egg & Spoon also includes a Spiked Hot Chocolate which you can order with either Baileys or Kahlua. This goes great with their build-your-own bennies or gourmet devilled eggs.
Cabin Brewing Company
Cabin Brewing Company is a craft brewery right here in Calgary. While they may not have a boozy hot chocolate in the traditional sense, they do serve a Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout. The Fuego pours thick and black with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa and a trio of chilis – sweet ancho, tangy guajillo and smoky chipotle.
Red’s Diner
Red Diner has a couple of boozy drinks that are perfect for keeping warm. Their Cabo Coffee is made with Kahlua, Baileys and whipped cream while their Café Beautiful is made with Grand Marnier, brandy and whipped cream. Perfect accompaniments to a hearty breakfast, especially on a chilly morning.
Cinnamon Indian Cuisine and Bar
With two locations in the city, Cinnamon Indian Cuisine & Bar has some incredible Indian dishes and a lunch buffet that’s worth checking out. They also offer an extensive cocktail list which includes a warm and soothing Hot Toddy made with brandy, honey and hot water.
OEB
Whether you are noshing on bennies or breakfast poutines, the specialty coffees at OEB go with anything you decide to order. Their Monte Cristo is made with Kahlua and Grand Marnier, while their Spanish Coffee includes Kahlua and Brandy.
Calcutta Cricket Club
Who can resist a comforting cup of chai? Calcutta Cricket Club ups the ante with a spirited version with their Boozy Chai with Spiced rum and Galliano. Galliano, an Italian liqueur flavoured with vanilla and herbs and spices, pairs wonderfully with the chai. Their popular kati rolls aren’t to be missed either!
