Long-time fans of Sydney small bar, Stitch, know them for tailoring a good time. And the basement level bar is channeling a sense of wonder with its unconventional take on the classic Hot Toddy, called Nutty By Nature.

It comes from group bars manager Cristiano Beretta, and features Aberfeldy 12 along with a complementary cast of flavours: nougat, local Sydney honey, grapefruit, and walnut. But it's the contrasting temperatures at play — a hot, golden drink capped with a cold, nutty, nougat foam — that really brings the wonder.
