If you’re ready to swap your Jalapeno Margarita for a Hot Toddy, now is the perfect time. As the weather changes, so does our palate. Gone is the desire for that fruity rum cocktail that transports you to the tropics. In its place is the longing for a toasty libation you can cozy up to your fireplace and a good book with.

I’ll be the first to admit that creating a hot cocktail can be a bit tricky if you’re new to it. Lucky for us, the folks at Dewar’s, Teeling, and Aviation Gin have whipped up some delectable cocktails you can easily recreate at home. What I love most about these winter-friendly cocktails is that they’re not made with a bunch of sugary mixers and other not-so-good-for-you additions. Instead, you’ll need ingredients like maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup.

If you can’t already tell from my last recipe, I’m really having a great time mixing up drink recipes with Chambord. A raspberry liqueur straight out of France, Chambord is super versatile and tasty all on its own. It can be mixed with just about any spirit to create a Lushworthy concoction of your choosing.

For my latest recipe, I wanted to create a cocktail that was heavy on the spirits, instead of one heavy on a variety of mixers. I opted for Van Gogh Acai Blueberry Vodka and Chambord, and gave my drink a tart edge with the addition of fresh lemon juice. And since I wanted an extra ingredient that would provide a little pizzazz, I opted for chamomile bitters.
