What is a hot toddy?
A hot toddy is typically a co*cktail served warm with whiskey. It usually consists of liquor, hot water, spices, lemon. Often people like to enjoy these drinks during Fall and winter months.
What kind of glass to serve a hot toddy in
A glass mug is most often used to serve a hot toddy. You want something with a handle as the beverage is hot. Here are some of our favorites:
Mix the apple cider, cinnamon and star of anise in a sauce pan. Bring to low boil. Turn down heat, simmer for 10 – 15 minutes.
Add honey and stir. Add bourbon and fresh lemon and fresh orange juice. Pour into mugs or glasses.
You can garnish the glasses with an apple or lemon wedge.
