Lucky for us, we live about 10 minutes down the road from Robinette’s Apple Haus & Winery. The line is about a half mile long, but it is SO worth it! If you don’t have access to a local orchard (or quite frankly, the time), support small businesses by finding a local cider available in your grocery store.

What do you need for an apple cider hot toddy?

Here’s what you’ll need:

• apple cider
• orange juice
• cranberry juice
• apple flavored whiskey
• orange liquor
• maple syrup
• allspice berries
• star anise
• cinnamon
• rosemary sprigs
• apple slices

Tips for the best hot toddy

• Use real maple syrup; not just regular pancake syrup. There’s a difference? Maple syrup is just that; maple tree sap that they’ve boiled down into a syrup, whereas pancake syrup is usually made from corn syrup and artificial flavors added in.
• Expecting company? Instead of making a small batch in a pot, double or triple your recipe and throw it in a crockpot to keep warm for hours. People can come and serve themselves as they need refills without all of the fuss.
