Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Serves 1
A hot toddy cocktail is a warming whiskey drink made with hot water, honey, and lemon. Though hot toddies are known as cold remedies, we love to make this recipe throughout the fall and winter. It's so cozy on a cold night!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup hot water
  • 1½ ounces whiskey, such as Bulleit, Koval, or Black Box
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 lemon round, or 1 (3-inch) piece lemon peel
  • 1 cinnamon stick, or 3 whole cloves, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a mug, stir together the hot water, whiskey, lemon juice, and honey until the honey dissolves. Taste and adjust as desired.
  • Garnish with the lemon round and cinnamon stick, if using.
