While the summer season and demand for chilled canned cocktails might be winding down, Fishers Island Lemonade has positioned itself as a premier drink for the fall and winter by using it to make a Hot Lemon Toddy.
Fishers Island Lemonade uses all-natural ingredients.
Fishers Island Lemonade (FIL) is made with all-natural ingredients, including lemon, honey, and spiked with premium distilled Vodka and barrel-aged Whiskey. By simmering FIL with cinnamon sticks and adding a shot of whiskey, the Hot Lemon Toddy is straightforward and easily customizable based on how much additional “kick” is needed to get through the colder months:
