About
The Maple Apple Toddy is a warming, soul-soothing cocktail that bridges the gap between a hot toddy and a spiced apple cider, with maple syrup adding a rich, earthy sweetness that honey simply cannot replicate. Warmed apple cider forms the base, with apple vodka stirred in off-heat to preserve the alcohol and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to keep the sweetness from becoming cloying. A pinch of cinnamon and the optional addition of fresh ginger make this the definitive cold-weather cocktail — the kind you make in a big batch when guests arrive, and the pot is always empty before the night is over.
Ingredients
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
1 pinch Cinnamon
4 oz Apple Cider
1 TBSP Maple Syrup
2 oz Apple Vodka
