Campfire Hot Drinks to Warm You Up in the Backcountry

I honestly don’t know if there is anything better than sitting around a hot campfire, drinking a good hot drink that warms you to the bones, and having good conversations with friends and family. It seriously is the best feeling ever!

There are so many hot drink options out there for a good campfire. It really depends on if you are car camping or camping in the backcountry. This is going to make a huge difference. What I decided to do was put together a list for both. You can have any of these drinks whether you are in the backcountry or not! How cool is that?

Ok, so let’s et started with some of my favorite hot drinks to sip on while you are sitting around a campfire!

Campfire Hot Drinks to Warm You Up in the Backcountry

1. Hot chocolate

Basically your classic hot drink around the campfire. Now, I would suggest adding a few things to this all time favorite. Either add mini marshmallows, normal marshmallows, mill, or fireball whisky.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet hot cocoa mix

• a handfull of marshmellows

• 8 ounces of hot milk powder+water, hot regular milk, hot coconut milk, or hot water depending on your situation

2. Apple Cider

This drink was seriously my all time favorite growing up. Mom would always make sure to bring apple cider mix for me. It is so freaking yummy!

To be honest, I would always add two packets to my water rather than one. It made is stronger and so much better. If you want to make it more adultish then just add either your favorite whisky or whipped cream vodka :)

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of apple cider

• 8 ounces hot water

3. Hot Toddie

This is one of my absolute favorites!

Ingredients;

• black tea bags

• 1 oz of whiskey

• Lemon Juice

• Honey to flavor

Directions: Heat up the water, add your tea bag, squeeze in the lemon and honey, and finally, add about a shot of whiskey.

4. Coffee

Or spiked coffee? Seriously coffee is my favorite. It is good for anytime of day in my opinion. You can have coffee in the morning around the campfire or make it a spiked coffee in the evening around the fire. Your choice!

Ingredients:

• 2 packets of instant coffee

• Stevia or favorite sweetener

• coconut oil powder, or favorite creamer

• 8 ounces of hot water

• Whisky is optional if you want to make an adult drink

5. Chai Tea

Ingredients:

• 2 chai tea bags

• 4 Green Tea or Darjeeling tea bags

• 7 cups of water

• A pinch of ground ginger

• Honey

• 1 cup of milk (or powdered milk if you are in the backcountry)

Boil the water and then add chai tea bags and ginger. Next, drop in the Darjeeling tea bags and simmer for 5 minutes. Lastly, add the cup of milk (or to your liking), lift up your pinky, and drink up!

I don’t really feel like there is much to say here. Hot tea! It makes everyone happy :)
