Notes
Substitutions
Whiskey of any kind will work, though I love a bourbon apple cider hot toddy, personally. The best whiskey for a hot toddy is your favorite whiskey but if you need recommendations, try Uncle Nearest 1856, Still ATX Straight Bourbon, or Bulleit!
If you don't have fresh lemon on hand, use about 1 ½ ounce of bottled lemon juice or fresh orange juice instead.
