Is there anything more soothing in the frosty weather than a steaming glass of Hot Toddy? The traditional Scottish drink made with whiskey, honey and lemon, is a traditional cure for colds and all that ails you, but is also a fantastically delicious winter drink.
The original hot toddy recipe dates back to the 18th century in Scotland, and is classically served with Scotch whiskey in a crystal glass. These days there are many variations on this traditional drink, and our non-alcoholic spiced version is an absolutely delicious way to enjoy a winter cocktail without the alcohol.
We've used one of our favourite Lyre's spirits, Lyre's American Malt Non Alcoholic Spirit, and added some delicious spices and citrus to create a fantastic winter warmer. Lyre's American Malt Spirit is an elegant non-alcoholic bourbon alternative, with a soft, full-bodied and mellow flavour of vanilla, nuts and herbal notes. Our non-alcoholic hot toddy winter mocktail is sure to warm you right through, perfect to sip in front of the fire on a chilly night.
