“Take a look around you. We are at the threshold of hell.” – Clark Griswold
A hot whiskey, also known as a hot toddy, is my favorite cold-weather cocktail. It’s simple, satisfying and pairs perfectly with all winter activities and occasions. Wrapping presents? Have a hot whiskey. Watching children ride bicycles in the bitter cold? Hot whiskey, please. Baking, cooking and baking some more? Make it a double.
Over the years, I have done extensive research. This is the recipe that never lets me down.
