Toasty Toasts

1 On a cold winter’s day sip a Hot Buttered Rum in the bar at 31
West; on a warm winter’s day, enjoy it on the rooftop terrace. 31
W. Carrillo St., 884-0300.

2 Elements heats things up with its “Firetini”: Absolut Peppar,
a tobasco-salted rim, and jalapeño-stuffed olives. 129 E. Anapamu
St., 884-9218.

3 The Eye-Opener at Tupelo Junction: Bailey’s, bourbon, and
Peet’s coffee — not just for breakfast anymore. 1218 State St.,
899-3100.

4 Shalhoob’s Manhattan is the only thing more comforting than
Jill’s comfort food. 632 Santa Barbara St., 963-0378.

5 The Brandy Alexanders at the El Encanto are sinfully good, but
drink more than two and you might find yourself renting a room.
1900 Lasuen Rd., 687-5000.
