Best Whisky for Hot Toddies

We are huge fans of Fireball hot toddies. Cinnamon obviously pairs well with apple cider so Fireball whisky just makes so much sense. If you don’t have Fireball, pretty much any kind of whiskey will do. Here are some more recommendations:

Don’t love whiskey? Try using spiced or dark rum instead. I bet it would be equally as delicious!

How to Make an Apple Cider Hot Toddy

Feel free to pour the whiskey right into the stockpot or allow your guests to add their own whisky or keep it alcohol-free.
