Drinks at a famous New York cocktail bar is a must-do activity for adult tourists, as well as a fun way to spend the evening for city regulars. When temperatures start to drop, cocktail bars and restaurants throughout the city break out seasonal flavors for fabulous winter cocktails. If you are looking for a drink that will warm your belly and get you in the spirit of the season, here are a few of the best winter cocktails in the New York area.

Fruits and Desserts
Maison Premiere in Brooklyn serves up cobbler in a glass with the Maison Pimm's Cobbler. Originally a summer drink, the concoction was given new life due to popularity among customers. The winter version of this cocktail mixes the taste of Granny Smith apples with cranberry, ginger, mint, and orange. The drink is garnished with mint and brandied cherries.

No holiday is complete without the taste of pumpkin, and Saxon + Parole on Bleecker Street provides that taste with the Spiced Pumpkin Flip. Served after shaking for full foam, the sweet and heavy drink features almond amaretto, bourbon, and butter ale.

For winter cocktails you can share, Italian restaurant Frankies 570 Sputino offers a six-drink pitcher that can be filled with several holiday asperitivo cocktails. Lighter than many sweet drinks, these cocktails are fueled by seasonal spices and garnished with fruit. Customers can expect to see drinks flavored with apples, pears, cinnamon and rosemary.

Classic Holiday Drinks
Several cocktail bars offer classic winter cocktails that feature cider, eggnog and various syrups. Dutch Kills offers a drink based on hot cider and bourbon called the A La Mode, and Clover Club serves up a cheery red drink called Port of Call. The Port of Call is made with gin, bitters, cinnamon syrup and cranberries.

Of course, no list of holiday drinks would be complete without an eggnog choice. Mars La Grillade provides the Baltimore-inspired Fell's Point Eggnog, which mixes thick textures of chocolate, rum and wine.

If you find yourself chilled in the brisk streets of a New York winter, pop into your local cocktail bar and warm yourself with a delicious, seasonal drink.
