Warm Up Your Winter Nights With A Delicious Hot Toddy

All winter long, I crave a fabulous cocktail on a cozy night in with friends or a beau. Red wine is great for winter, but sometimes you want a nice warm cocktail. That’s why I love a delicious Hot Toddy on cold winter evenings.

I also feel like when I have a cold, a Hot Toddy is the absolute best cure, although a doctor might argue that alcohol doesn’t help a cold. Whatever the case, this drink is the perfect way to  warm yourself up by the fire on a cold night.

Here is my recipe for a Hot Toddy. Feel free to add more spices and honey or tailor it to your own personal tastes:
