When the chill sets in and the air feels sharper than usual, there’s one cocktail that warms from the inside out—the timeless Hot Toddy. At Left Bank, we’re serving up this classic winter remedy with a signature pour of our house bourbon and just the right touch of sweet and spice.

The Left Bank Hot Toddy

Simple, soothing, and surprisingly sophisticated, the Hot Toddy isn’t just a drink—it’s comfort in a cup. Our version balances boldness and balance with the following essentials:

Left Bank Bourbon – The heart of the drink. Smooth with a warming kick, it anchors the Toddy with just the right amount of bite.
Honey – Nature’s sweetness. It coats the throat and mellows the whiskey into a golden blend of flavor and comfort.
Lemon Juice – A zing of citrus to brighten the warmth, adding a fresh edge that cuts through the richness.
Hot Water – Not too hot, just enough to release the aromatics and meld everything together.
Cinnamon Stick – For spice and fragrance. Stir it in and let the steam carry the scent straight to your soul.
Lemon Wedge – A finishing touch that makes it as beautiful as it is beneficial.

A Sip of History

The Hot Toddy traces its roots to 18th-century Scotland, originally made to combat the cold—and maybe even a cold. It’s a cocktail wrapped in folklore, medicine, and tradition, and it has stood the test of time for good reason. It’s a cure-all for winter blues, and with Left Bank, we’re keeping the legacy alive—one steamy glass at a time.

When to Order One?

When your nose is stuffy and your soul is weary.
When you need something more sophisticated than tea.
Or when you’re just in the mood to wrap your hands around a warm glass and feel instantly better.

Get cozy. Whether you're winding down after a rainy day or looking for a stylish way to fend off the winter sniffles, the Left Bank Hot Toddy is your go-to dose of sugar, spice, and everything nice.
