Apple Brandy Hot Toddy

Apple Brandy Hot Toddy

Often a remedy for a cold, a hot toddy is at once delicious and invigorating. This take on the classic gains extra power from honey liqueur and the rich apple essence of Calvados. Of course, a good clover honey may be used as well as an apple brandy, but we prefer the full-bodied flavor of the Bärenjäger and the Calvados. Either way, this toddy is sure to make everyone a bit warm and toasty.

What to buy: Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur is a classic German liqueur that is a unique blend of highland honey and fine spirits. It can be found at a well-stocked liquor store or online. If you can’t find it, high-quality clover honey can be substituted.

1 part Calvados or apple brandy
1 part Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur (or honey)

Dash freshly grated nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1 lemon wedge
