    Bourbon, honey, lemon, cinnamon & clove — Sunday warmth in a mug

    Sunday dinner warmth, wrapped in a warm mug

    The Story

    The Hot Toddy is the cocktail equivalent of a chicken pot pie — warm, comforting, and the thing you reach for when the weather turns cold and you need to feel taken care of. Bourbon, honey, lemon, and warming spices: it's the taste of being home on a rainy evening, wrapped in a blanket, with nowhere else to be.
