It's a breezy 28 degrees outside. No wonder it's National Hot Toddy Day. Everyday should be National Hot Toddy Day until Spring gets here. In my quest to finish off that never-ending gallon of apple cider in my fridge, I decided some kind of apple cider toddy would be just the thing to warm up with this afternoon.
To hooch or not to hooch? That's up to you! But it never hurts to celebrate an important holiday like National Hot Toddy Day... |
