If you like hot toddies, you’ll love our festive spiced cranberry hot toddy! All you need for this classic cocktail is hot water, fresh lemon juice, honey, and your choice of bourbon, whiskey, or rum. Stir it all together in a mug or glass, sip on it slowly, and you’ll be feeling cozy in no time. It’s a very customizable drink so you can play around with the amount of honey and lemon juice you use. You can also swap the honey for maple syrup or brown sugar, and use other citrus fruit like orange or grapefruit instead of lemon. We like to serve it with a cinnamon stick for even more warm, sweater-weather vibes. A hot toddy cocktail (sometimes called a hot taddy) is perfect for casual gatherings and cozy nights by the fireplace, or anytime you want to unwind with something warm in your hands. If you’re fighting a cold or flu, enjoy it without the whiskey as a soothing, immune-boosting tonic.
Whiskey, bourbon, or rum – whiskey is usually our go-to but bourbon and rum both work well, too. Lemon juice – fresh is definitely best! Honey – any type of honey will give this drink a wonderful sweetness. You can also use maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown sugar if that’s what you have on hand. Hot or boiling water Lemon slice and cinnamon stick – these are optional, but we use them for garnish for added flavor and it makes them look more festive.
