With the onslaught of frigid temperatures and ice storms this winter — and more grueling weather surely on the horizon — the rooftop happy hours of spring never seemed so far away. Fortunately, lots of cocktails coming out of Philadelphia’s bars and restaurants are bringing the heat.

It doesn’t get much hotter than a habanero pepper, the centerpiece of the Pablotini at Las Tarascas en Zocalo. In fact, you can control the temperature: the longer you leave the pepper in there, the spicier the cocktail — also infused with Cuervo Gold, Grand Marnier and lime juice — gets.

Below, check out our other top picks for watering holes that are reflecting the winter forecast.

• Bar Ferdinand: This Northern Liberties Spanish spot offers a cozy interior matched by its warm winter drinks, like the Valentino Martini: Stoli Vanil, Godiva White and Chambord.

• Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co.: For a swig of sunshine, check out La Florida Daquiri (made with Nicaraguan rum, crème de cacao, orange liquer, housemade grenadine and fresh lime juice), just one of the handcrafted cocktails on The Franklin’s new winter menu.

• Alma de Cuba: For some much-needed Caribbean-inspired warmth, go for the Papaya Sangria Rosado, crafted with Pisco-spiked rose wine, papaya, jicama and a mix of tropical fruits.

• Tinto: Take the edge off the seasonal chill with treats like the Cranberry Allspice Sangria, featuring dark rum and triple sec blended with rosé wine, simple syrup, allspice liqueur and lemon, served over ice with macerated cranberries.

• Oyster House: If you dream of leaving these icy roads behind, consider ordering an Astronaut’s Haircut. The spicy cocktail includes Hendrick’s gin and a dash of absinthe.

• Twenty Manning Grill: The Rum’kin Pie won the fall cocktail contest and is still around, for good reason. It’s Myers Platinum rum infused with cinnamon and nutmeg roasted pumpkin, spiced rum, Navan, Bailey’s and Buttershot Schnapps.

Check out more picks, below.

• Kennett: Can’t get belly-warmingly-earthier than The Pynchon: rye, dry vermouth, sweet potato shrub and honey.

• Smokin’ Betty’s: Warm apple cider is a seasonal favorite, but keep Smokin’ Betty’s adult remix away from the kids. The Hot Cider is a soul-warming mix of Sobieski Karamel vodka, apple cider, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.

• Amuse at Le Méridien Hotel: Let your beverage choice speak for itself, with the White Cloud, a mix of Belvedere, pineapple juice, créme de cacao and cream. Or else stubbornly deny how far we are from spring, and go for the Citrus Martini.

• Ms. Toostie’s: The soul food hotspot’s signature Tootsietini is a chocolate solution more decadent than a fur coat. Dark Godiva, White Godiva, Baileys and cream chocolate swirl offer the ultimate insulation from the elements.

• Rum Bar: The new winter cocktail menu includes south-of-the-equator-inspired drinks like the super smooth Banana Nut Bay (made with Brugal añejo rum, creme de banana, Castries Peanut Rum Creme, cream of coconut and pineapple juice). Equally savory is the Hot Buttered Rum, a mix of Ron Zacapa Centenario, Canne Banane and house-made butter batter.
