Mystic Hot Toddy

Whenever the cold weather rolls in, hot toddies always make an appearance on our seasonal cocktail menu! As a night cap or a happy hour libation, this bracing winter warmer is a perfect drink for a cold winter evening. For a new take on one of our favorites, we tried infusing a toddy with the warm, spicy layers of our Mystic Licorice tea to complement the bold fiery taste of the whiskey.Hot toddies are traditionally sweetened with honey, but this version doesn't need it. Licorice root naturally sweetens the toddy, and brings out the sweeter notes in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom. Finish the drink with a squeeze of lemon and your favorite whiskey, and it's a delicious way to warm up your winter.Toddies also make excellent batch cocktails, too!

Mystic Mule

Perfect for a hot summer evening, or anytime, really. The classic Moscow Mule needs no introduction. Fizzy and softly spicy, this delicious cocktail is typically served in a copper mug for instant ice-cold refreshment. For this variation on the drink, we used our Mystic Licorice Tea to complement the traditional flavors. Full of warm spices like licorice, cinnamon, cardamom, orange, coriander, and cloves, this tea blend adds complexity to gentle bite of ginger beer, while including a sweet finish that pairs well with the sour flavor of the lime. We suggest you make a pitcher, because these go down easy. We also used local ginger beer from Timber City, which has a strong ginger kick without too much sweetness to make this cocktail. When making the tea, we recommend brewing a strong batch to stand up to the other flavors. Approximately four teaspoons per cup of water should do the trick.
