Similar to the Hot Toddy, my recipe for Warm ‘n’ Toasty is a fruity rendition of the classic hot drink. In this drink I’ve skipped the tea for hot water, but it’s also great with a light lavender tea. The grenadine’s fruitiness sets off the bourbon’s sweet and bitter qualities. Best of all, it’s all warmed up so it’s perfect for a lazy winter day.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 oz grenadine
- hot water to fill
- orange wheel for garnish
- cinnamon stick for garnish

Warm and toasty and just in time for winter, the Hot Toddy is a classic hot drink. Feel free to experiment with your favorite types of tea. Most black and green teas mix well with the sweetness of the honey and lemon, but from there it’s a personal preference and some interesting toddies are possible. There is also a Gin Toddy that is a great variation of this warm cocktail.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 oz brandy or blended whiskey
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 lemon
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 tea bag

INGREDIENTS:
- 3 oz lemon-lime soda
- 3 oz ginger ale
