A hot toddy is a classic warm cocktail that's often used to soothe a sore throat or to enjoy a cozy night in. This particular recipe brings together the comforting heat of whiskey, the tang of lemon, the sweetness of honey, and aromatic spices to create a soothing drink that's easy to make and delightful to sip.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves and give them a light crush with the side of a knife to release their oils.
- Slice a lemon to yield the required amount of juice, if you are using fresh lemons.
- Boil some water separately. You will need about 1 cup (240ml) of hot water to make the hot toddy.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a mug or heatproof glass, add the whiskey, lemon juice, and honey.
- Stir to combine and dissolve the honey thoroughly.
4. Add Hot Water:
- Pour about 1 cup (240ml) of hot water into the mug over the whiskey mixture.
- Stir again to ensure everything is mixed well.
5. Add Garnishes and Infuse:
- Add the cinnamon stick and the crushed garlic cloves to the mug.
- Allow the mixture to steep for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
6. Serve:
- Remove the garlic cloves before drinking.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or citrus levels if needed by adding more honey or lemon juice to suit your preference.
7. Enjoy:
- Your hot toddy is ready to warm you up and soothe your senses. Enjoy responsibly!
Tips:
- Use good quality whiskey for the best flavor. A smooth bourbon or a smoky Scotch can elevate the drink.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice will offer a brighter, more authentic flavor compared to bottled juice.
- If you find the drink too strong, you can dilute it with a bit more hot water.
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, you can break the cinnamon stick before adding it to the water.
- Garlic is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a more traditional flavor profile.
This hot toddy recipe is perfect for a cold evening or when you need a soothing remedy. With its warm blend of whiskey, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, and optional garlic, it's a versatile drink that can be tailored to suit your taste preferences.
