Made this yesterday as per the recipe and loved it without reservation. Perfect for a cold, stormy November evening in front of the fire.
Just made it again but with Ginger Liqueur instead of Amaretto and substituted preserved ginger for the garnish. Delicious but needed some sweetness to balance so added back 10ml of Amaretto. My husband’s cold is getting better already!

Thanks Linda. I tried your version and it is indeed delicious. Hence, I named it a "Toasted Ginger Godfather" and added it to Difford's Guide with you referenced as the originator. I've also added a link above, please see "Variant".
