Winter Drinks in Oxford, Ohio

'Tis the season for delicious winter drinks! And Oxford's locally-owned bars and restaurants have a range to choose from. How about a Kentucky Maple Mule? Or maybe a Betty White Russian with Irish cream? And warm-up with a Special Hot Chocolate! The list of festive flavors is endless and sure to warm you right up.

Almost all of the businesses on the list are part of the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), which means you can take these decadent holiday drinks to go! We suggest getting a warm drink in a DORA cup and then walking around uptown to enjoy all the twinkling lights or having seat in one of the igloos.

Due to winter break and COVID, business hours are subject to change. We recommend calling ahead before venturing out to make sure businesses are open during the hours you plan on visiting!

Church Street Social

107 E. Church St.

When you think of Church Street Social, you probably think of Trivia Night, delicious bites, and fun special events. This winter you'll also be thinking of their seasonal drinks, of which they have quite a few.

Betty White Russian (in honor of the late Betty White) it’s vanilla vodka & Irish Cream. Jack Frost Mule is vodka, ginner beer, and blue curacao. For your Instagrammable photo get their Northern Lights! It’s vodka soda in a light-up glass. The menu also includes Snow- Rita (tequila, triple sec, lime juice) which will give you the feel of sitting on a beach. But if you are one to embrace the cold, snowing days try their Winter White Cosma which is cranberry vodka and white cranberry juice.
