Yield Serves 14

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 qt cranberry juice cocktail
3/4 cup sugar
3 (3 1/2-inch) cinnamon sticks
4 whole star anise
1 (3-inch) piece gingerroot, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups amber or dark rum

Steps:

  • Bring cranberry juice, sugar, spices, and ginger to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Stir in rum and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Look for plump, deep-red cranberries that are free of blemishes. Avoid any cranberries that are soft or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of sweeteners: This recipe calls for a combination of honey and maple syrup, but you can use any type of sweetener that you like. Agave nectar, brown sugar, or granulated sugar are all good options.
  • Don't boil the toddy: Boiling the toddy will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor. Instead, heat it gently over low heat until it is just simmering.
  • Garnish with a cinnamon stick: A cinnamon stick adds a festive touch to the toddy and helps to enhance the flavor.
