For Day 19 of Boozy Advent, I made a Bourbon Hot Toddy.

This ends up being made in some version every winter here for one of us. If it’s frigid outside, this is the answer. If one of us feels under the weather, also the answer. This time Johnna had the sniffles. She tells me I can’t make medical claims on the internet nor hand out any health advice, but this did seem to clear up her sniffles.

The ingredients for this Bourbon Hot Toddy are simple and likely to be in your kitchen. A tea bag of your choice (I used a lemon ginger tea), a bit of lemon juice, a squeeze of honey, a lot of bourbon and hot water. We rarely garnish with a lemon slice, but did here to make it pretty.
