What to drink on cold winter evenings
The Hot Toddy is the grandfather of hot cocktails. Equally at home in a snowbound mountain cabin as it is on an acclaimed cocktail menu, the Hot Toddy has one job that it takes quite seriously: warming you up.
The Hot Toddy has been linked to warming up winter nights next to a fireplace, as well as warding off colds. You can use any kind of whiskey you like in this hot and comforting classic, and the end result will be equally delicious. Grab your favorite mug, and get ready for a warm whiskey embrace.
