The Bandoeng’22 Toddy

The Bandoeng’22 Toddy is a warm and comforting cocktail inspired by the classic Hot Toddy, a traditional drink often enjoyed during colder days. Known for its soothing combination of whisky, honey, lemon and warm water, the Hot Toddy has long been a favourite winter drink.

In this version, Bandoeng’22 Pandan Liqueur adds a distinctive Southeast Asian twist to the classic recipe. Pandan brings warm aromatic notes often compared to vanilla, coconut and gentle spices, which complement the richness of bourbon and the sweetness of honey.

The result is a smooth and warming cocktail that balances citrus, spice and sweetness — perfect for cosy evenings or when you need a comforting drink.

A Pandan Twist on the Classic Hot Toddy

The Hot Toddy is one of the most well-known warm cocktails in the world. Traditionally made with whisky, honey, lemon and hot water, it is often enjoyed as a comforting drink during cold evenings.
