Apple Hot Toddy

Cocktail Description

The Apple Hot Toddy is autumn in a glass, a soul-warming hug that wraps around you like a favorite sweater on the first chilly evening of fall.

This delightful hot cocktail blends the honey-sweet, herb-infused notes of Drambuie with the crisp, tangy character of medium-dry apple cider, creating a perfectly balanced sip that's both comforting and complex. The warmth builds from within as the Drambuie's whisky base mingles with the natural sweetness of the cider, while the aromatic apple garnish adds a fresh dimension that ties everything together. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just combine the ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently, making it perfect for impromptu gatherings or quiet evenings at home. This toddy shines brightest on cool autumn nights or during holiday festivities when its warming properties and festive flavors are most appreciated. Pair it with savory dishes like roasted pork with apple sauce, sharp aged cheeses, or cinnamon-spiced desserts to complement its sweet-spiced profile.
