One of the Best Cinnamon Whiskey Cocktails
This cocktail was inspired by my husband this week – we had a large gallon of apple cider that we hadn’t drank yet, so we decided to heat it up on the stove top. He suggested it would make a great mixer, so I went over to our liquor cabinet and found the cinnamon whiskey!
A perfect pairing, this was one festive holiday drink.
What’s In This Apple Cinnamon Hot Toddy Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Apple Cider – I used a pre-made Spiced Cider from Trader Joes (I know, I know, we normally get local New England orchard cider, but we used what we had) as the base for this drink.
- Cinnamon Whiskey – like Fireball or a similar brand.
- Cinnamon sticks – I used organic ones that I got at the store. They make a nice garnish
This recipe is pretty sweet (to my taste) so it makes a really nice sipping drink. If you want yours less sweet, then I’d recommend halving the cider to 4 ounces, and replacing the remaining 4 ounces with how water. That way you get most of the flavor, but not all of the sugar.
