Feeling cold or under the weather?

Warm up with an Apple Cider Hot Toddy!

But is it actually good for you?

Is a Hot Toddy a Healthy Drink?

A good mid-range bourbon, like Knob Creek or Four Roses, will do well here.

(Super-premium bourbons are best saved for drinks where the flavor will come through a bit more.)

Scale It up for a Party!

Want a warm cocktail for a party?

Let guests serve themselves with a ladle.

The Not-Toddy, or a Non-Alcoholic Hot Toddy

Not feeling like drinking?

I’m a big fan of what I call aNot-Toddy, a hot toddy without the booze.

Heat the mixture over medium-low heat and bring it to a simmer, about 10 minutes.

Strain the cider into the mug and stir.

Or if you want, leave a few spices in the mug for extra aromatics as you sip!
