This Ginger Hot Toddy Will Keep You Warm All Winter

I wish I was cool enough to drink bourbon straight, but I’m just not that gal. However, I found that when you mix bourbon with lemon, ginger, honey, cinnamon, and hot water, it magically turns into a hot and delicious cocktail. This Ginger Hot Toddy kicks the traditional recipe up a bit with that extra warming spicy in there. Hope y’all enjoy!

Ingredients

Makes 1 Ginger Hot Toddy

  • 2 shots bourbon (I use a local Charleston bourbon Virgil Kaine)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 TB honey
  • 1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • Enough hot water to fill up your mug
  • Optional garnish: cinnamon stick

How to Make it

  1. Boil water either on the stove or using an electric kettle
  2. Pour the bourbon into your coffee mug of choice and juice in the lemon
  3. Add in the honey and grate in the ginger
  4. Top it off with the hot water and stir with a spoon to make sure the honey is fully incorporated
  5. Garnish with a cinnamon and enjoy by the fire or inside under a warm blanket!
