About
The Rum Toddy is a time-honored cold-weather remedy and fireside companion — a warm, soothing drink that has been easing chills and lifting spirits for centuries. Hot water is blended with spiced rum, honey syrup, and a squeeze of lemon juice to create something deeply comforting: the rum's warming spice, the honey's floral sweetness, and the lemon's bright acidity combine into a drink that feels like a hug in a mug. Perfect for cold nights, winter holidays, or any time you need something warming and restorative.
Instructions
- Warm a mug by filling it with hot water for 30 seconds, then discard the water.
- Add spiced rum, honey syrup, and lemon juice to the warm mug.
- Top with hot water (just off the boil) and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel studded with whole cloves and a cinnamon stick for stirring.
- Serve immediately while hot.
