Now that this preliminary is out of the way, let's get down to doing that very thing. There are plenty of versions of the Hot Coffee Grog floating around in the booze world. Some contain cream or butter (or, in one tiki-fied version, coconut cream), and some are laced with a range of liqueurs.
Gramercy Tavern's Expat
Sometimes on a cold fall evening all you want to drink is a bright, sunny cocktail to remind of warmer days recently passed.

Mulled Cider Shrub
The great thing about this particular shrub is that it's ready to consume immediately, as a lot of the vinegar's intensity is cooked out. It's a lot more mild and sweet than most shrubs, and doesn't require anything but a splash of soda or a shot of your choice of booze to make a tasty beverage.
Gramercy Tavern's Old Orleans
Tart and aromatic cider blends with sweet orange curaçao, and spicy bitters to create a warming autumn cocktail.

Showcasing the earthy flavor of fermented apples with just a bit of sugar and bitters is a perfect preparation to enjoy classic holiday flavors in a new way.
