Sportsman’s Club Toddy

We love a good hot toddy on a cold winter night, and we’re always on the lookout for inventive new twists on the classic recipe. Imagine our delight when we came across this lovely riff from Graham Heubach at Chicago’s Sportsman’s Club, with its lovely fall flavors of port and orange and cinnamon.
Heubach’s recipe calls for tawny port, a variety with more age and sweetness than ruby port. We’ve tried it both ways, and find the distinction to be minimal; use whatever you’ve got on hand.

Ingredients
- 1 part Bourbon or Rye whiskey or Blended whiskey
- 1 part Port or White Port
- ½ part Orange curaçao
- ½ part Cinnamon syrup
- ½ part Lemon juice
Instructions
Build in the order given in a heatproof glass or mug. Top with 1.5 oz (or 45 mL) of hot water. Garnish with a strip of lemon or orange peel.
