Winter is finally here, and it's probably one of my favorite times of the year. Some of our favorite winter climbing areas are finally cold enough to climb at. Ski and mountaineering options are starting to open up. I can go running outside any time of the day without sweating a gallon of water out of my body, and the weather is just plain fantastic in Southern California during this time of the year.

PLUS we now have an excuse to make our favorite winter-time boozy drinks! These are great for on the go, at the top of a peak, or even winding down at the end of the day at camp or in our Wayfarer Campervan.

In this post we are going to share three of our favorite winter drinks to bring with us on hikes or on camping trips. They are all easy to pack away in our backpacks with our favorite Classic Stanley Flask and the Classic Stanley Vacuum Thermos. Depending on which recipe we are making, we are able to prepare the flask and thermos separately ahead of time, and the thermos keeps our warm water, hot chocolate or coffee warm for up to 24 hours! When we are ready to enjoy the drinks we just mix them into our favorite collapsible mug and voila!
