Brandy love
A toddy can be concocted with whisky, brandy or rum but Caf&eacute; Zoe co-partner J&eacute;r&eacute;mie Horowitz prefers sticking to brandy and cognac for the two versions of Hot Toddy served At the restobar. &ldquo;The motive is purely emotional. A hot toddy always reminds me of winter, flu, cold or rain. I cannot imagine any other spirit to soothe your nerves as perfectly as brandy or cognac,&rdquo; he says. The drink includes freshly-chopped oranges and apples, lime, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and honey. Time 7.30 am to 1.30 am At Caf&eacute; Zoe, Mathuradas Mill Compound, Lower Parel.
