Cozy and comforting with a touch of warmth from cinnamon, this mug of Hot Toddy is perfect for sipping during winter months. Classic hot toddy, a warming alcoholic drink, aka hot whiskey in Ireland, is most often made with hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon. A touch of honey brings sweetness and flavor. Enjoy as is, or add a cinnamon stick for extra flair and spice.
This easy recipe comes together in a snap: Microwave a mug of water until hot but not boiling. Stir in the whiskey, honey, and lemon juice. Add in the lemon wedge and a cinnamon stick. Serve right away and enjoy! You can also sub out whiskey for bourbon, aged rum, scotch, or brandy. The recipe yields 1 serving, but it’s easy to scale up.

In a mug, add ¾ cup water and microwave on high for 1 minute until very hot but not boiling.
