Hot Toddy, Hot Toddy, Hot Toddy its what people talk about during the cold winter months and how wonderful this drink tastes. I NEVER HAD ONE! I figured it was time for me to experience this wonderful cocktail so I scoured the net and my magazines looking for a recipe for one that tickled my fancy. Basically this is what I found out, the Hot Toddy is usually known as a toasty winter beverage made from a distilled spirit, honey and water. Now that I knew the basics I chose a Apple Liqueur recipe it seemed like the one I would most want to snuggle up to a fire and drink. Enjoy!
