On cold wintery night many reach for a nice hot chocolate – I reach for a Hot Toddy. It will warm the cockles of your heart and get you good and tipsy. I made this recipe with Forty Creek Whisky recently and it has become a new winter classic at my house. Try it at home – it’s great in a go-cup.
Recipe
- 2oz Forty Creek Whisky
- 1 tablespoon mild honey

- Repeat.
