Kachina Southwestern Grill

While this cocktail pick isn't technically served at a higher temperature, it brings the heat via a peppery, chartreuse-y mechanism. It is sure to burn in the best way with Milagro silver tequila, green chartreuse, lime and pineapple juices, a few drops of scorpion tincture, and garnished with a blistered fresno pepper. Muy caliente!
The Nickel recently added a hot cocktail to its menu that encapsulates both traditional standards and mixology ingenuity - a red chai toddy made with Breckenridge bourbon, red chai reduction, agave nectar, and garnished with a cinnamon stick, star anise, and lemon peel twirl.

The Acorn Irish coffee may be just what the doctor ordered. The comforting creation is a mixture of Boxcar Stella blend espresso, Jameson Irish whiskey, turbinado, amaro di angostura cream, and a dash of cinnamon.

Black Eye Coffee

Stop by the stunning Black Eye Coffee Cap Hill on a colder day and order the "On the Ropes," a cocktail similar to a Hot Toddy, but with a twist. Demera sugar cube, house-made coffee bitters, and a splash of hot water are all combined in a mug, then Rittenhouse rye is lit on fire and poured tableside with an orange peel flamed over the top.
