The chilly season has arrived and that calls for some warm drinks, whether that’s a hot cocktail recipe or a non-alcoholic number. It’s the kind of drink we tend to associate with holiday pop-ups and outdoor markets but you can make them at home too. We have a recipe from a top non-alcoholic spirits brand that’s proof.
Here’s a cocktail served warm that’s made with a NA whiskey. It comes to us from Little Saints. And you’d be hard-pressed to know it wasn’t a conventional cocktail. We suggest playing around with both your honey source and garnish for a perfect fit.
So, whether you’re looking for more options this fall and winer, want to cater to your friends who don’t drink, or just want to try something new, this recipe is for you. You can also float some bitters for a little extra flavor.

St. Oak Hot Toddy
Made with the non-alcoholic spirit injected with mushrooms, this is a Hot Toddy recipe you can get used to this holiday season.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces St. Oak
- 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 6 ounces hot water
- Cinnamon stick and lemon wheel for garnish
Method:
- Add St. Oak, lemon juice, and honey to a mug and stir in the water.
- Garnish with cinnamon and honey (and use stick to stir). Ginger makes a great garnish too.
If you’re looking for a fun offseason project, consider infusing your spirits. It’s a great way to get a little extra out of that tequila or whiskey, NA or otherwise, and it doesn’t take much time. Plus, you’ll have a fun project to show off to friends.
