"There isn’t much besides a sumptuous quilt in a reading nook strewn with pillows that can deliver comfort like a hot toddy," says The Violet Hour's Toby Maloney. This drink is "kind of like an Old Fashioned with hot water, but adding ginger amps it up, gives it a secondary heat, and makes it fantastically soothing. There is applejack in this recipe, but you could switch out for whiskey or rum or Cognac and it would still be as wicked as the Jersey Devil," he says.
