Toddy Negroni

It's a Toddy, but a Negroni.

It's a Negroni, but a Toddy.

If you haven't tried the steamy version of this classic cocktail, you're missing out. The steam and warm liquids brings out aromas and flavours in ways that a chilled cocktail cannot.

But hot temperature can also make a drink taste harsh, and so I use noticeably less Campari and add a bit of honey to soften.

A boozy dark chocolate covered orange that's perfect for a cold evening.
