What are we drinking?

As the story goes, and there’s more to this story, the Hot Toddy was a drink doctors would prescribe to cure what ails you. Like a warm hug on a cold night, the Hot Toddy is there to embrace you in its spirit-honey-citrus goodness. Jules throws a curveball and serves up a Warm Negroni, honestly… it’s really good, but you’ll have to decide which you like best. Don’t miss this episode!
