Hot take: Tequila Toddy’s are best!

There, I said it! I still love whiskey too, but an agave-based Hot Toddy just hits different. Here’s an especially delicious Hot Toddy variation, made with one of my favorites: Punta Diamante Reposado from Casa Don Ramon.

I’ve also been making spiced cranberry syrup for a variety of cocktails this season (click here for the recipe for that) so I made a special batch with agave nectar just for this cocktail– and it was well worth it!

ingredients:

2 oz Tequila Reposado
1 oz fresh lemon juice
¾ oz Spiced-cranberry agave syrup
3-4 oz hot water

instructions:

In a heat-tempered glass, combine tequila, lemon juice and spiced-cranberry syrup.

Top with hot water and briefly stir to combine.

Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and whole star anise.

Single-serve Egg Nog

I typically refer to this cocktail as a “Flip”– which was originally made back in the 1600’s with spirit, sugar, eggs and spices, and was served hot by thrusting a burning hot rod of metal into it, causing it to froth or “flip.”

Spanish Coffee

People have been spiking their coffee with booze since the dawn of mankind… or something like that. Point being, throwing a shot of something into your cup of joe isn’t exactly an exciting cocktail. But hey, if you feel like making things a little more interesting and showing off for your friends a bit, make a Spanish Coffee.

Infusing spirits always makes me kinda nervous because I’m never 100% sure it’s going to work out. If it turns out bad or just not up to my personal standards, I feel like I wasted a bottle.
