A hot cocktail in a cozy winter cabin setting. The cocktail is a warm, soothing drink like a hot toddy or mulled wine, served in a heat-resistant glass or mug. It's steaming, with spices like cinnamon sticks or star anise visible, and maybe a slice of orange or apple. The drink has a rich, inviting color. The background shows a snug winter cabin with a roaring fireplace, comfortable furnishings, and a window revealing a snowy landscape outside, creating a perfect setting for enjoying a hot cocktail on a cold day.
