Cranberry & Sorghum Whiskey Hot Toddy
Raise a toasty glass and cheers to a little-known local cereal crop—sorghum! Remarkably resilient, sorghum is drought-tolerant and can even benefit soil health. In Wisconsin, you can find several distilleries using the sustainable grain to create uniquely local whiskey. Old Sugar Distillery’s Queen Jennie, AEppelTreow's Brown Dog Whiskey and Duck Creek Vineyard and Winery’s Sorghum Whiskey will make your fall hot toddy something to celebrate.
Ingredients
4 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice
1–2 tablespoons maple or sorghum syrup, to your taste
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
2 slices orange (optional)
3 oz sorghum whiskey
Directions
Simmer the cranberry juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, star anise and oranges gently over medium heat until aromatic, about 8 minutes. Divide the sorghum whiskey into two mugs, top with the mulled cranberry juice and garnish with the simmered spices and orange slices.
