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?

See 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.
