The Winter Sip Stroll

Our personally tested, winter-worthy fireplace cocktails in New Hope

There’s something about winter in New Hope that calls for a slow wander, glowing fireplaces, and really good cocktails. We’re sharing one of our favorite ways to enjoy the season — a cozy stroll between fireplace-filled favorites, each paired with a winter-worthy pour we’ve personally tried and loved (purely for research, of course).

Everything is within easy walking distance, making this an effortless way to explore town. The stroll unfolds naturally, includes a cozy interlude at Stella, and ends with dinner at Zoubi. Dry January? You’re still invited — every stop pours mocktails worth ordering.
