My Perfect Hot Toddy Recipe

As a whiskey lover, a hot toddy is an obvious choice for a warm winter drink, but there are so many hot toddy recipes out there, with all different ingredients. Finding the perfect combination took a little experimentation.

I tried recipes that involved lots of spices, such as cinnamon, but I didn’t like them! It turns out that my perfect hot toddy is super simple: lemon, honey, water, and of course, whiskey. Without further ado, here is the classic hot toddy that I love to sip in the cold weather.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz. whiskey
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice
• 1 cup hot water
• Lemon wedge

Directions

Combine whiskey, honey, lemon juice, and hot water in your favorite mug. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
