When crafting the perfect cocktail for cooler weather, this Spiced Pear Hot Toddy by Heather Shaw takes the crown.

A twist on a classic toddy, this drink boasts irresistible flavour combinations. The pear liqueur lends a natural fruity sweetness that pairs beautifully with the robust depth of dark rum, creating a base that’s truly “pearfect.”

But what elevates this warm and cozy drink with a little festive flair is the infusion of our Cinnamon and Gingerbread Flavour Drops. These flavours deliciously complement the pear-rum base, creating a flavour profile that’s reminiscent of holiday festivities and all the things we love about this time of year.
