It is incorrect, unhelpful at least, to think of the construction “à boire” as a noun. It is more an abbreviation of the phrase “quelque chose à boire”. As in English, if you want to use an adjective, you need the “something” to attach it to: “something hot to drink” > “quelque chose de chaud à boire” or else “une boisson chaude à boire”.
