Hot Buttered Cider

Toddies as we know them can be traced as far back as the mid-nineteenth century, although “toddy” is mentioned as the name of a drink in records going as far back as 1638. The primary application of buttered toddies in the nineteenth century was the treatment of cold and flu symptoms. It may not have any true medicinal properties, but it sure does feel nice on a sore throat!

We found this recipe in Gaz Regan’s The Joy of Mixology, our favorite mixological tome. Regan credits the recipe to bartender Nick Hydos at New York’s Painter’s Tavern. In the book, it was called a Hot Buttered Rum – but we have a more rum-forward recipe we prefer for that moniker. Apple cider is really the star of this recipe, so we’ve changed the name to suit it. It’s such a good template, it holds up equally well with whiskey or brandy in place of the rum.

Instructions

Add the honey, clove, and hot cider to a heatproof mug or glass. Stir well to mix, and add the rum, butter, and ground cinnamon. Stir briefly with a cinnamon stick, and serve the drink with the stick in the glass as a garnish.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
