Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
January 11 was National Hot Toddy Day, and what better way to celebrate than to feature the Hot Toddy in our Happy Hour this week?! A hot toddy is a mixed drink, most often featuring whisky that is served (go figure!) HOT. Toddy's are traditionally enjoyed in wet or cold weather, AND, once upon a time, were believed to cure the cold and flu (try it! we bet it works!).
Whether you’re just looking to take the chill off, or entertaining guests who have a scratchy throat or runny nose, this is just what the doctor ordered.
Cheers!

1 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey*
1/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup
1 slice lemon
1 clove
4 oz hot water
1/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup
1 slice lemon
1 clove
4 oz hot water
Mix whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup and heat either on the stove or in the microwave.
Spear the lemon slice with the clove and float in the toddy, and of course serve HOT!
Cinnamon sticks make a cute addition to the presentation.
