El Cucuy (Mezcal Apple Cider Hot Toddy)

El Cucuy is an imaginary creature of the dark, similar to the boogeyman. This cocktail features earthy apple cider flavors that compliment the smoky mezcal, creating a harmonious and frighteningly delicious balance with a haunting kick. Beware; this adult cider hot toddy is not a monster to be carelessly dealt with. Be good or El Cucuy will get you!
