Whisky hot toddy

When I was at uni, my flatmate Sam made me a hot lemon and honey drink when I was ill one time. I loved it, and my next thought was "the only thing that could make this better is whisky". I was reading about the history of hot toddys, having thought they were always made with whisky, but actually the recipe is a lot more loose than that. This recipe is more like a traditional grog, but with whisky instead of rum.

Ingredients

  • 45ml whisky
  • 30ml triple sec (I like Grand Marnier but Cointreau works too)
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon (20ml)
  • 120ml hot water

Method

  1. Put all the ingredients except the water in a mug, stir and add the hot water.

  2. Add more honey or water to taste.
