Around the fire pit in winter or kicking back on a summer evening on the patio, a hot toddy is a great drink to enjoy — comforting and satisfying. Here’s a simple recipe to create a tasty hot cocktail.
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1/4 cup Whiskey or Scotch
- 3/4 cup Boiling Hot Water
Put the lemon juice in the cup first. Then add the honey and leave the tablespoon in the cup to stir your elixir and allow all of the honey to join your drink. Next, add the Whiskey or Scotch or your choice. Finally, add the boiling water and stir until well mixed.
It’s just that simple!
Be careful of your initial sips as the drink will be quite hot at this point. Taste it to make sure you’re happy with the flavor and then let it rest a minute and cool to your preference.
Note: Your choice of Whiskey or Scotch doesn’t have to be “top shelf” because you’re mixing it with honey and lemon.
Remember, every day is Friday on the patio. Enjoy!
