Hot Toddy with Whiskey and Tea

The new year is here and plenty of us could use a nice calming drink in the evening. We looked through our list of cocktails and found a simple one we thought you all would enjoy. 

Gather your ingredients

You’ll need 1½ ounces of Blackfish Straight Bourbon, 1 tbsp of honey, ½ ounce of lemon juice, one cup of hot water and your favorite tea. Black tea works best and really brings out the flavors of the whiskey. We use a black tea blend and whiskey in our own Sweet Tea recipe.

Combine the Ingredients

Bring your water to a boil, then steep your tea in a mug for 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in the honey to dissolve it, then add the bourbon and lemon juice. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a lemon wedge for a little extra flavor.

Enjoy
