This week’s Fri-yay cocktail comes to you courtesy of laryngitis, so the Sidecar was bumped to next week and enter the Hot Toddy – a cocktail I love drinking as much for its name as its taste – so saucy! Not just saucy but my favourite type of saucy – simple & saucy. Cos I like my cocktails simple, like my men.
This one’s going to take you: 5 mins-ish
It’s going to make you: 1 drink
You’ll need to have:
- 3 tbsp brandy (or whisky or bourbon if you prefer)
- 1tbsp honey
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1 slice and 1 generous squeeze of lemon (appx 2tsp)
- ½ cup hot water
You’ll need to do:
- Heat the water
- While the water is heating, put brandy, honey, and lemon juice in your choice of glass/mug.
- Pour in the hot water and stir to dissolve honey
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick (in the glass)
- Serve hot, cos no-one likes a cold Toddy.
