The phrase "home for the holidays" typically evokes a blissful scene of spending time with loved ones. But getting home for the holidays isn't always smooth sailing—and depending on where you land, you may not have all the ideal rations.
The book Road Soda was inspired by the desire for a dignified cocktail, no matter where life takes you. So should you find yourself armed with only a minibar and a hotel room coffee maker (or microwave) this holiday season, consider this recipe your go-to hack for a festive Hot Toddy.
