National Hot Toddy Day?!

Ok so I know this is random, but because I am a newbie (as of two years now..) to this great innovation, I thought it was about finally time I shared it with those of you (maybe a few maybe more) that still haven't heard of this wonderful innovation: Hot Toddy!  Maybe your grandmother refereed to it, maybe not? But I will say after my first "real" winter in the north I came to love these drinks, especially when you got that annoying scratchy throat or annoying cold that wouldn't go away!

and whats even more fun about TODAY is that it is actually  

NATIONAL HOT TODDY DAY! (who would'va thought..) 

it does seem like everything has their own day now, but even more reason to try one of these drinks out... but I will say normally I recommend waiting until you feel slightly under the weather or very chilled!

There are a few "recipes" for this drink, the most standard is: 

Hot Toddy
½ shot Bourbon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup hot water

I have also switched this up a little by following this recipe:

1 shot of Bourbon (preferably Makers)

Peppermint Tea

lemons 

(with or without, depends on if I have them in the fridge)

and for those who don't believe me that is actually a national day well Here, thanks Local 10!

Happy Hot Toddy Day! 

I will also be posting more today so be on the look-out! need to catch up!
