Cooler days are here, and you know what that means – those chilly evenings when all you want is something warm, comforting and soul-soothing in your hands. Maybe you're curled up by the fireplace, binge-watching your favourite TV show, or just winding down after a long day at work. There's something magical about a hot toddy that just hits differently during cooler days, but what if you're skipping alcohol?
Enter Sans Drinks—your non-alcoholic drinks specialist that kicks FOMO to the curb and keeps the good times rolling! So, let's create that perfect winter warmer – all the cosy vibes, all the delicious flavours.
Ingredients:
-
45ml Sans Bar Kings of Tartan Non-Alcoholic Whisky Substitute
-
1 tbsp honey (or maple/agave)
-
Juice of ¼ lemon
-
150ml hot water
-
Cinnamon stick, star anise, lemon slice for garnish
Method:
-
Start by boiling 150ml of water in a pan—let it reach a nice rolling boil for the best flavour. It tastes amazing when it’s piping hot!
-
While that’s heating up, grab your favourite mug and pour in 45ml of a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative. Here we're using the cult-favourite Sans Bar Kings of Tartan—think bold smoked oak and malt flavours with a warm, lingering finish and a realistic, alcohol-like mouthfeel.
-
Next, squeeze in a quarter of a lemon and add honey or maple syrup—go with whatever suits your taste. Once the water’s hot, pour it over the mix to help everything blend smoothly.
-
Give it a gentle stir until the syrup or honey completely dissolves and everything is nicely combined.
-
Serve it steaming hot and garnish with a cinnamon stick, star anise, or a lemon slice. Then kick back and enjoy that cosy, warm goodness in every sip!
