Mixing It Up: Hot Toddy Recipe
The perfect tipsy treat to warm you up on cold nights! Hot toddies are a simple combination of hot water, whisky, honey, and lemon, as well as some spices to garnish.
One of the best things about the humble hot toddy is that you can totally play around with measurements in order to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter expression, you can add more honey. If you prefer a more refreshing expression, add more lemon juice. You can use these two ingredients in order to perfect the cocktail to your liking.
They are also an excellent drink to make if you are struggling with a cold. Honey, lemon, and hot water has been proven to be an efficient remedy so why not add a dash of whisky for an inviting nightcap?
