This version of the hot toddy diverges from the traditional recipe with the additions of ginger liqueur and pumpkin butter — both of which add extra flavor and depth. The pumpkin butter, in particular, makes this hot and boozy toddy feel incredibly smooth on the palate. Feel free to mix it up with apple butter, too!
