Isolation Proof's Orchard Gin (previously released as Winter Gin) leans into baked-apple and clove territory by design. The producer's official Hot Toddy build keeps the spirit at center: clove simple syrup for warmth, a bar spoon of apple butter for body, hot water to loosen. Served with a clove-studded orange wheel.
