This Hot Toddy variation gains complexity from use of Amaro Montenegro, an Italian bitter known for its 40 herbs and botanicals. Demerara sugar, spiced rum and two types of bitters—including one aged in whiskey barrels—yield a drink that’s perfect for drinkers who find plain Hot Toddys to be thin, and prefer a bit more depth. If you’re a fan of big, bold red wines and dark beer, this is the Toddy that will bring the flavors you’re looking for.
