We’re particularly thrilled to have blogger and culinary pro, Cassie Winslow, drop by Glitter Guide today because she’s sharing her scrumptious recipe for a Lavender Orange Hot Toddy! It’s the perfect way to warm up on these cold winter nights.

This twist on the classic hot toddy will have your taste buds singing! With hints of lavender and vibrant citrus, this toasty cocktail is the ultimate comfort at the end of a long, frigid day. It’s the perfect cold–weather beverage to snuggle-up with under layers of blankets (while viewing a classic movie, of course), and is truly as pretty as it is delectable. Happy sipping!
