Warm up with the ultimate hot toddy recipe from West Virginia!
We recently filmed at Bloomery Plantation Distillery in West Virginia, an unusual place to visit for a few reasons. They make limoncello, an Italian liquor, in Charles Town, West Virginia. They grow lemons on site and told us that they are the most Northernly located commercial lemon growers in the USA. They make a variety of other unusual and tasty flavors of artisanal cordials, including Cranberry Clementine and Chocolate Raspberry.
I tried the Limoncello (yum) and also the Black Walnut SweetShine and liked both, so was excited when owner Linda Losey shared this recipe that’s perfect for cold weather and holiday events.
