Feeling under the weather or just need something soothing and relaxing to sip on? This is it! I have been hooked (and you will be too) on hot toddies for the past few years and they are honestly the first thing I go to when those aches and pains of a cold or flu come on. They are relaxing, therapeutic, satisfying and tasty!

This drink packs a little kick but it is soothing and calming and I find it hard to have just one. I love the balance of tartness and sweetness between the lemon and honey and together they help keep the bourbon (even though I love it) from taking over. As an added bonus, I had some Italian coriander honey on hand which has some added health benefits…and it comes from Italy which helped me turn my Hot Toddy into an Italian Hot Toddy ;)

The Drink

Hot Toddy

• 3 Tablespoons (1 1/2 oz) bourbon*

• 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

• 1 Tablespoon Italian coriander honey*

• 1/3 cup boiling water

• Lemon slice to garnish

1. Add bourbon, lemon juice and honey to a heatproof glass.

2. Add boiling water and stir until combined.

3. Garnish with lemon slice….drink….relax.

*If you do not have an Italian coriander honey or bourbon then another type of honey and or whiskey of your choice can be used :)

Here’s to your health and happiness!
