Pour a little hot water into the mug before and then dup it out, beforeyou mix the ingredients. This keeps the final drink hotter longer and makes the whole experience much better.

Common Questions!
What is the best way to keep these drinks hot for a large group?
The best method is to mix the non-alcoholic parts (like the coffee and creams) in a pre-warmed, insulated beverage dispenser or an electric slow cooker set to “warm.” Add the spirits just before serving or let guests add them individually.
Can I order hot cocktails for my event catering?
Yes. Our catering services can set up a full specialty hot drinks bar tailored to your event. Our team can manage the bar, mixing these coffee and spirit creations for your guests throughout the party.
