A hot toddy is a classic and warming whiskey cocktail.
Servings: 1 drink
Prep Time:5 Minutes
Total Time:5 Minutes
Ingredients
2 oz (¼ cup)bourbon
1 tablespoonfresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 tablespoonhoney
Boiling water, to fill a mug (6 to 8 oz)
Cinnamon stick for garnish
3 to 4cloves for garnish
1star anise pod for garnish
Instructions
Combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and honey in a mug and add the boiling water (use more or less, depending on how strong you'd like the drink to be). Stir until the honey is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined, 10 to 15 seconds. Garnish with the cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise pod.
Note: When serving, I recommend warming up some heavy mugs by first filling them with boiling water. Once they’re nice and toasty, spill out the water and fill with the cocktail. This will help the drinks maintain their cozy warmth a bit longer.
