Bar Lubitsch
This Russian nightspot’s steamy Hot Cider—Jack Daniel’s whiskey, Hennessy V.S cognac, freshpressed apple juice, a squeeze of fresh orange juice, and a hearty sprinkle of cinnamon—is warm enough to make a Moscow winter seem downright balmy. 7702 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood; 323-654-1234

The Blvd
Mom’s piping-hot apple pie gets a 90210 twist as the Hot Blvd apple martini, assembled with apple cinnamon-infused Ultimat vodka and a splash of Crown Royal whiskey, rimmed with a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, and garnished with an apple slice. Beverly Wilshire Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel, 9500 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, 310-385-3901; theblvdrestaurant.com

The Hudson
This WeHo watering hole offers just what the doctor ordered with Hudson’s Apothecary, a potent prescription crafted from Grenache red wine, turbinado (brown sugar in the raw), water, lemon wheels, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, allspice, and a smattering of finely grated nutmeg on top. 1114 N. Crescent Heights Blvd., West Hollywood, 323-654-6686; thehudsonla.com

The Roger Room
This drinking den’s mixology maestros offer a warm welcome with an Irish Goodbye (named for when someone leaves without sociable “so longs”), a heady, heated blend of Jameson Irish whiskey, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, fresh cranberries, red currants, cracked cloves, and water to temper the spirit. 370 N. La Cienega Blvd., LA; 310-854-1300

Savory
Malibu’s latest hot spot turns up the heat with its Savor the Season, a tasty combination of Buffalo Trace bourbon infused with Black Mission fig, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, steamed up with hot unfiltered organic apple juice and a Gravenstein apple-wedge garnish. 29169 Heathercliff Road, Malibu, 310-589-8997; savorymalibu.com

Tom Bergin’s Tavern
Known as the “House of Irish Coffee” since introducing the drink to LA in 1949, this shamrock-filled barroom has a recipe that endures: fresh java from a long-simmering pot, Irish whiskey (typically Powers), demerara (natural brown) sugar, and a layer of hand-whipped cream. 840 S. Fairfax Ave., LA, 323-936-7151; tombergins.com

Trader Vic’s
This tiki-themed institution’s bones-warming booty is the Hot Buttered Rum, crafted 50 years ago by Victor J. “Trader Vic” Bergeron himself. The batter—butter and brown sugar spiced with ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves—is sunk in boiling water alongside a shot of rum and served with a cinnamon stick in a skull-shaped mug. Heady, indeed. The Beverly Hilton, 9876 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, 310-276- 6345; tradervics.com

Villains Tavern
At Downtown’s eclectic cocktailing lair lurks the deliciously nefarious Lady Percy, a tippler’s twist on a favorite fall libation that combines stewed hot pear cider with dried apricots, burnt brown sugar, bitters, and spices, with a shotgun blast of Maker’s 46 bourbon. 1356 Palmetto St., LA, 213-613-0766; villainstavern.com

The Well
Hollywood’s hippest hole-in-the-wall strikes it rich with its Millionaires Coco, a potent payoff combining Grand Marnier cognac and hot chocolate with a sweet spiral of freshly whipped cream. 6255 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, 323-467-9355; vintagebargroup.com

Yamashiro
Beyond the hot sakes one expects from the Japanese “Mountain Palace,” adventurous aperitifs including the Five Spiced Apple bring the heat: Wild Turkey American bourbon, natural apple cider, and the restaurant’s exotic blend of five Chinese spices are mixed in a shaker tin, heated with a cappuccino steamer, and served with a cinnamon-stick stirrer. 1999 N. Sycamore Ave., Hollywood, 323-466-5125; yamashirorestaurant.com
