„Zum Wohl!“ It means “To Your Health” in German and is often heard amidst the clanking of beer steins, wine glasses and cocktail coupes as a toast amongst friends. While we cannot make any claims as to the health benefits of the Hot Toddy, typically served in a beloved ceramic or hand-pottered mug, we love its soothing and warming effect when we are feeling a bit under the weather, like a hug in a mug.
