National Hot Toddy Day

If you are looking for a drink to warm you up this winter season,
celebrate National Hot Toddy Day on January 11th with a day made to do just that. This warm drink was created in a kettle with various kinds of alcohol, along with honey, lemon, water, and a cinnamon stick. 

To kick off the new year, rebellious artisanal ice creamery Humphry Slocombe has partnered with renowned Scotch whisky The Glenlivet to launch a special not-so-dry January collaboration. All month long, the Abbott Kinney shop will scoop The Glenlivet, a flavor made with 12-year-old single malt scotch, and the decadent Hot Toddy Sundae, a specialty sundae featuring The Glenlivet flavor and clove caramel topped with candied lemon. Forget the new year, new you crowd and channel the new year, same you by indulging in this ultimate, one-of-a-kind boozy dessert available all month long.

To celebrate the spirited ice cream and sundae creations and just in time for National Hot Toddy Day, the Venice scoop shop will be hosting Hot Toddy Night with The Glenlivet on January 11th. Guests can enjoy free Hot Toddy Sundaes as well as artisan concoctions such as the Founder’s Reserve Highball Float with The Glenlivet Ice Cream, Founder’s Reserve Hot Toddy, The Glenlivet 18-Year and Dark Chocolate Smoked Sea Salt pairing and The Glenlivet 12-Year “affogato” with your flavor of choice.

The boozy partnership is the first of many for the unconventional ice cream brand, which is rolling out a year-long series of liquor-infused ice cream flavors, all of which are inspired by classic cocktails. In addition to The Glenlivet partnership, Humphry Slocombe will also be scooping six seasonal flavors, available only for the month of January. January Seasonal Six Include:

Cocktail Collaboration of The Month: The Glenlivet – Made with Glenlivet 12-year single malt whiskey. Very boozy (and delightful!)
Black Sesame – We hand toast and grind black sesame seeds, add a little sesame oil, and voila!
Candied Ginger + Beet – A gorgeous deep red from raspberry and beets, and a spicy hit from candied ginger
Smoked Almond Brittle – We use smoky Lapsang Souchong tea for the ice cream and add almond brittle
Dirty Chai – Our house made chai spice blend with a spank of espresso. Just dirty enough.
Coconut Lemon Sorbet – Our amazing coconut sorbet with a lemon twist. Astounding, and vegan!
