Emily Morton, owner of The 126 in Burlington, has been helping us develop recipes for our maple-based cocktail mixers and bitters. Emily won Vermont Bartender of the Year 2019 and is a devotee of cocktail history, so we knew she would be the perfect person to come up with some great hot toddy recipes. This one – with Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Maple and a good hit of citrus – is among our favorites.
