Author Notes
This is an old brandy toddy recipe, to which I’ve added ginger liqueur, and switched out a lemon peel for an orange peel. I’d never had Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur before I was introduced to it through aliyaleekong’s Smoked Earl Grey Tea Cocktail, posted on food52 a few months ago. It is such a fabulous liqueur (and I’ve been adding it to cider ever since I got it!). If you don’t have the ginger liqueur, you may substitute a sugar syrup made with equal parts water and sugar, with 1” ginger sliced (per ¼ cup), though I prefer the Domaine de Canton. Do enjoy! —SallyCan
