Diva's Whimsical Whiskey, Drop It Like It's Hot Toddy

Hey Pookies!!!

Okay, Diva is feeling a little under the weather (severe understatement) and so tonight’s recipe will be a hot toddy. It’s going to be a pretty traditional recipe with a little bit of flair. Y’all know I have to add some flair; I wouldn’t be Diva if I didn’t.

So my suggestion to anyone out there that is going to attempt this recipe is to first… This is a very important step so please pay attention. First, have yourself and everything ready for bed before you make this concoction, because afterward you will be fit for only one place…La La Land!

On to the recipe:

2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz honey
1 slice lemon
1 clove
Dash of nutmeg (fresh if you have it, it’s so much better than the bottled stuff, shout outs to Kitty for that tip) [BTW- If you read the comments and postings you should know who this is]
Dash of cinnamon
4 oz hot water
Cinnamon stick (for garish and to stir)


This is not rocket science, however, I suggest you heat the liquids a certain way. Heat the water in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add all the ingredients except for the whiskey. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Turn off the heat and add the whiskey to the heated mixture. Stay with me now…

Pour the Toddy into a coffee cup or a heat safe drinking container. Now please, please, please allow the Toddy to cool a little (come on, you really don’t want to burn your lips off, do ya?) Serve with a slice of lemon for added pucker. Enjoy the slightly comatose state you will be in directly after :-)

I have a cinnamon stick in there, but it wasn’t tall enough for you to see it.
