The Classic Hot Toddy Upgrade
The Hot Toddy is a quintessential winter staple, but the spirit you choose defines the experience. We recommend using a high-rye American whiskey to cut through the sweetness of honey and lemon. The spice notes in the rye perfectly complement the hot water and cloves, creating a soothing beverage that truly warms you.

A Smoky American Blended Whiskey Old Fashioned
For a sophisticated evening, a complex cocktail is ideal. An American blended whiskey provides a smooth, versatile base for a winter Old Fashioned. The blending process ensures a consistent flavor profile that pairs beautifully with walnut bitters and charred orange peel. This depth of flavor transforms a simple drink into a luxurious seasonal treat.

Spiked Apple Cider Creations
Nothing screams winter quite like hot apple cider spiked with your favorite spirit. As a premier liquor retailer, we see a surge in demand for spirits that mix well with orchard fruits. Adding a splash of whiskey adds a caramel richness to the tart cider. Garnish with a cinnamon stick to enhance the festive aroma.

The Comfort of Whiskey Coffee
Integrating whiskey into coffee creates the ultimate after-dinner warmer. The bold character of American whiskey stands up impressively against strong roasts and heavy creams. We suggest adding a touch of maple syrup or whipped cream for indulgence. It is an excellent way to wind down an evening, merging caffeine with the relaxation of a fine spirit.
These winter warmers are just the beginning of what you can create with the right bottle. At American West Spirit Company, we are dedicated to helping you find the perfect pour for every season.
