Recipe for Brandy Toddy: The Warm Winter Hug
Brandy Toddy is the perfect drink to warm up on cold winter nights. Made with brandy, honey, fresh lemon juice, and Angostura, this recipe offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, enriched with a bitter touch. Add a hint of cinnamon for a spicy twist.
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, honey, and dashes of Angostura. Heat over low heat until the honey is completely dissolved, creating an aromatic base for our Brandy Toddy.
- Remove from the heat and add the fresh lemon juice, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
- Take a suitable glass to serve the Toddy and fill it with about two tablespoons of crushed ice.
- Pour the warm mixture gently over the ice in the glass.
- Add the 4 tablespoons of Brandy Stock 84 and stir with a cocktail muddler to slightly cool the drink and allow the flavors to blend perfectly.
- Garnish with a twist of lemon, giving an elegant and refreshing final touch to the drink.
Notes
To give an original twist to our Brandy Toddy recipe, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or a whole stick during the honey dissolving process in the water. This will give the drink a spicy aroma that pairs perfectly with the warm notes of brandy.
