12 Days of Cocktails: Whisky Toddy

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
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup boiling-hot water
  • 1 thick lemon slice studded with 3 cloves
  • cinnamon sticks to garnish
 Directions
  1. Put bourbon, honey, and lemon juice in a 6-ounce mug.
  2. Top off with hot water and stir until honey is dissolved.
  3. Toss in your lemon slice and cinnamon stick.
  4. Enjoy.
  5. Repeat.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
