Whether you’re sampling homemade holiday cookies or looking for a winter cocktail to have on a cold, snowy night, Anthony DeSerio’s Earl-Grey-Ginger Hot Toddy is both warming and soul-satisfying. This isn’t your grandmother’s classic hot toddy, that’s for sure…Anthony’s combines several liquors you’ll love having around long after trying his mug of comfort. In case you’ve never tried Amaro, it’s an Italian herbal liqueur, often enjoyed after dinner, and has pleasant bittersweet notes. Lillet is a floral, off-dry aperitif wine from France. (Faith likes hers on the rocks before a meal.)
