Bourbon Toddy Instructions

The Bourbon Toddy is a classic cocktail that is perfect for those cold winter nights. The warm and comforting flavors of bourbon, honey, lemon, and spices create a delicious drink that will warm you from the inside out.

To make a Bourbon Toddy, start by heating water in a kettle until it's steaming hot. While the water is heating, grab a mug and add a tablespoon of honey. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mug, then add a generous pour of bourbon - about 2 ounces should do the trick.

Once the water is ready, pour it into the mug, filling it up. Stir well to dissolve the honey and blend all the flavors together. To add a touch of spice, you can insert a cinnamon stick or sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top.

Let the Bourbon Toddy steep for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Take a sip and savor the warming notes of bourbon, the sweetness of honey, the tanginess of lemon, and the subtle spices. It's the perfect drink to cozy up with on a chilly evening.

So, the next time you're looking to unwind and warm up, give the Bourbon Toddy a try. It's a simple and satisfying cocktail that will keep you feeling cozy all night long.


Best served in a Highball Glass.
