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 World Spice’s Irish Breakfast 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.
