Hot Toddy

As far as easy cocktails go, there's nothing quite as cozy and comforting as a hot toddy on a cold winter night. Sure, you could opt for mulled cider or winter sangria, but both drinks require some foresight, requiring either an hour to simmer or even more time to hang in the fridge overnight. This toddy, on the other hand, comes together in mere minutes. Plus, it's lighter and less sweet.
