National Hot Toddy Day – January 11
Happy Dance Hot Toddy
Today is National Hot Toddy Day and it couldn’t have come at a better time as we woke up this morning to ANOTHER 6″ of snow. As cold weather calls for hot beverages, the best way to warm up is with this best hot toddy recipe ever. It’s spiked with a tea fragrance, sweet spices and honey – and oh yeah, don’t forget the whiskey (Pendleton is our favorite).
So whip up a couple of these cocktails and warm up your inners on this National Hot Toddy Day, compliments of Chef David Venable 🙂 enjoy
