Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cranberries. This will ensure that your hot toddy is bursting with flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion; feel free to experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend.
  • Don't boil the cranberries. Boiling them will make them mushy and lose their flavor. Instead, simmer them gently until they are softened.
  • Use a good quality whiskey. The whiskey is the star of this drink, so it's important to use one that you enjoy.
  • Serve hot. A hot toddy is best enjoyed when it's hot and steamy.

Conclusion:

A spiced cranberry hot toddy is the perfect drink to warm you up on a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. So next time you have a few extra cranberries on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
