Maple Toddy

It’s “sweater weather,” a time when we switch up our wardrobe and our drinks repertoire, and revisit recipes for warm whisky drinks that are perfect for cozy fall days or nights. 

By Christine Sismondo

1 bag Earl Grey tea
1 ½ oz whisky
¾ oz maple syrup
¼ oz fresh lemon juice 
2 pieces candied ginger for garnish

1. Fill a glass coffee mug with hot water to warm it up. 
2. Boil water and brew a small (4-oz) cup of Earl Grey black tea. 
3. Empty the hot water from the warmed mug and add whisky, brewed tea, maple syrup and lemon juice. Stir for 10 seconds or until syrup is dissolved. 
4. Skewer candied ginger on a cocktail pick and use to garnish the cocktail.
