Get cozy with this herbal take on the Hot Toddy using Amante 1530
The Tuscan Toddy is a aromatic warm drink for the winter
The Tuscan Toddy

The Hot Toddy is one of the classic winter cocktails, using whiskey, honey, and lemon plus hot water to create a warm, boozy tea-like drink that is perfect for days when you're feeling under the weather. But this concept also makes for a fine template for experimenting with more unusual warm drinks, as this recipe shows.

The Tuscan Toddy is a drink from Italian aperitivo brand Amante 1530 which adds a herbal, aromatic twist to the Hot Toddy. Rather than the traditional Scotch Whisky, it uses aperitivo for a drink that leans more bitter and herbal than smokey and fruity. There's also a slug of Italian sweet vermouth in there, to add a little boost of sweetness and more herbal flavors, plus the traditional fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, and hot water.  It's all capped off with a shot of bourbon to up the alcohol level and to add some of that fruitiness back in.
