Often taken as a remedy for a cold, a hot toddy is at once delicious and invigorating. This take on the classic receives a boost of flavor from honey liqueur and apple brandy for a toddy that’s sure to leave everyone warm and a bit toasty.
What to buy: Bärenjäger Honey Liqueur is a German classic. A unique blend of highland honey and fine spirits, it can be found at a well-stocked liquor store or online. If you can’t find it, high-quality clover honey can be substituted. Of course, a good clover honey may be used as well as an apple brandy, but we prefer the full-bodied flavor of Bärenjäger and Calvados.
This recipe was featured as part of our Winter Cabin Fever story.

nice drink
just tried it, although I put in about 8 ounces of boiling water. delicious. tried it a while back solely w/ honey, and it's much better w/ the Barenjager.
It sounds very good; I never say no to brandy. But I'm more interested in the cookies on the left. What are they?
