Let's Stay Home: The Coziest Mocktail for Cold Nights
I am so excited to share one of my all-time winter favorites from my book, The Happiest Hour: Delicious Mocktails for a Fabulous Moms’ Night In!
It’s called Let's Stay Home, and it's my non-alcoholic take on the classic Hot Toddy. Now, I love to travel and go out to see friends, but by 8 PM, I want to be in my robe at home. This drink is the perfect companion for those cold nights when all you want to do is cozy up by the fire.
Seriously, it’s a simple, comforting mug of warmth, and I know you are going to love it.

Why I Love the Hot Toddy Mocktail
I used to be a wine mom through and through, so I totally get the desire for that cozy ritual at the end of a long day. This mocktail gives you that ritual, without the fuzzy memories or waking up feeling awful.
Plus, let me tell you, the world of non-alcoholic spirits has exploded, and non-alcoholic whiskeys are fantastic for this kind of warm drink. The simple combination of the NA whiskey, hot water, lemon juice, and honey is incredibly soothing. It's one of my favorite hot winter drinks!
Big Time Cheers from the great state of Kentucky to staying home, staying cozy, and thriving alcohol-free!
