Two Tullamore Dew Hot Toddy Recipes

TL;DR

• Tullamore Dew’s smooth Irish whiskey (and the honey expression!) makes the perfect base for winter warmers.
• Hot Toddys are simple, comforting, and customizable.
• Two versions: the classic + a richer honey-whiskey variation.
• Ideal for cold nights, small gatherings, or a relaxing wind-down.

When the temperatures drop, there’s nothing better than a warm cocktail that’s equal parts cozy and flavorful. A Hot Toddy brings comfort in a mug, and when you make it with Tullamore Dew, you get an elevated winter staple. Whether you reach for their signature Irish whiskey or the naturally sweeter Tullamore Dew Honey, this drink becomes smooth, balanced, and incredibly easy to enjoy.

Why Tullamore Dew Works So Well in a Hot Toddy

A Hot Toddy relies on harmony: warm spirits, soothing sweetness, and brightness from citrus. Tullamore Dew blends seamlessly thanks to:

Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey

• Profile: Triple-distilled, triple-blend whiskey (pot still, malt, grain) known for its balance, softness, and subtle spice.
• Tasting Notes: Honeyed sweetness, vanilla, light citrus, gentle baking spice.
• Why it shines: The smooth character and delicate spice complement the lemon and honey instead of overwhelming them.

Tullamore Dew Honey

• Profile: A whiskey-forward liqueur infused with natural honey flavor.
• Tasting Notes: Soft honeycomb sweetness, warm vanilla, floral notes, touch of fruit.
• Why it shines: Adds depth and natural sweetness to a toddy, no extra honey required, and creates a rounder, richer winter drink.

Both bring warmth without heaviness, making them ideal for cold nights, soothing sips, or a simple winter ritual.

What Makes Hot Toddys a Winter Go-To

• Warming + comforting: Perfect for slow evenings or post-dinner relaxation.
• Easy to customize: Adjust citrus, spice, or sweetness to match your mood.
• Minimal ingredients: No mixology skills needed.
• Crowd-pleasing: Great for gatherings, cold-weather hosting, or sipping fireside.
