As if you didn’t need another excuse to drink, January 11th is National Hot Toddy Day and man is there a cold front sweeping the states. I usually laugh at the Floridians here who break out the thick heavy coats for 50-60 degree weather but It’s not just Florida cold here, it’s cold cold. We hit 36 this morning and while that probably feels like beach weather to folks up north feeling the single digits, that’s cold enough for us to warrant extreme measures to keep warm. Kick back this Sunday, enjoy the NFL Playoffs, and keep warm with these 5 awesome Hot Toddy recipes:
