Yummr's Main Dish
- Staying Warm w/ Hot Toddy
-
The holiday season is known to be interrupted at times by the typical cold ailments: sore throat, fever, running nose. 'Tis the season for wonderful celebration...and at times, super sick sniffling.One of my favorite itchy throat remedies is the Hot Toddy. To me, there is nothing more soothing to a stressed out larynx than to go to my neighborhood bar (or sit on my couch) and order up a Hot Toddy.
Best of all, this drink is so easy to make and with ingredients you likely already have.
HOT TODDY:
- 1 1/2 ounces Whiskey
- 1 ounce Honey
- 1/3 ounce Lemon Juice
- 3 ounces Water (Hot)
- Cinnamon stick for a garnish and little spicy kick
Some people mix it a combination of different ways (heat the honey/water in the Microwave first is a common one) but I prefer to do it the old fashioned way, heating the water on the stove and then stirring in the honey and lemon juice while it heats up. Allow it to cool slightly and then add in a shot (or two!) of whiskey.
This is a great drink for not only when you are sick but also when you just want a shot of warmth post-dinner before you head home in the warmth.
Yumm!

I just had one of these last night. They are perfect to soothe a bad cold and help you sleep better and keep you nice and warm when you have a chill =)

A hot toddy was always one of those things that sounded funny to me and I never knew what was in one of these concoctions - looks easy enough to make and I love whiskey and honey, why not try them together?
