The Torii Toddy is a warm drink created by Kevin Diedrich and submitted to the January 2011 Hot Cocktail contest. I chose this one is a winning cocktail, because of its unique use of chrysanthemum tea and the fact that it is mixed with one of my favorite liqueurs, Yellow Chartreuse. This is by far one of the best new toddies that I have had in long time.
