Hot Sabile Apple Gin Toddy
Have you tried the Hot Toddy winter cocktail ? Did you know you can make it with gin instead of whisky? Try and enjoy this drink on a cold winter evening!
Ingredients:
- 50ml Sabile Apple Gin (order it here);
- 30 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice;
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey;
- fresh lemon;
- 150 ml hot water;
- cinnamon stick.
Preparation:
- Pour the gin, lemon juice and sugar or honey into a glass mug (or other container for hot drinks).
- Add the hot water and stir well until the sugar or honey dissolves.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a slice of lemon.
- Serve and enjoy!
Recommendations:
- Just as the classic Hot Toddy, this drink can be customised to your liking. Adjust the amount of lemon juice, sugar or honey to your taste. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
- Choose the sweetener to taste - white sugar is a classic choice, but brown sugar and honey will give the drink a richer flavour.
- It is best to use freshly squeezed lemon juice, squeezing a few lemon wedges into the mug. Ready-made lemon juice can be used, adjusting the quantity to taste.
- A cinnamon stick is almost obligatory in this drink. It adds extra flavour and can be used as a stirring stick.
- This drink is best made with hot (not boiling) water. The water will be at the ideal temperature if heated in a kettle or microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
