The winter season is a popular time of year to stay indoors and get cozy.

Because of this, you may find yourself spending more time at home or at a friends’ place, and less time moving around outside. While the cold weather may make you feel a little more sedentary than normal, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious winter cocktail amongst friends or family, as a way to unwind or treat yourself.

While cocktails can oftentimes be filled with extra calories and high amounts of sugar, there are absolutely alternatives to get that yummy fix with less guilt. Check out these fun and healthier ideas for winter cocktails for you to enjoy (c/o Daily Burn), and perhaps, throw together for company at a get together. Enjoy!
