Hot Toddy – The Best Winter Remedy!

January 22, 2013

Hot Toddy - the best winter remedy

Let’s face it. Winter is a starting to get a bit on our nerves. After the holidays are done, we are left with love handles, bills to pay, a busy work schedule, and a few aching joints. On top of that, it’s cold and rainy (at least in here). It may sound too depressing but it isn’t….oh who am I kidding. It is. The beginning of the year is always a bit rough, but I got you covered! Winter can be defeated with this amazing drink that has been used by people of the North for centuries (or for as long as booze has existed). Hot Toddy: the perfect remedy for the winter blues.

Make this simple concoction at home to revive your body and soul. The recipe I present you today has Manuka Honey, which totally boosts your immune system. A cocktail that helps you stay healthy? Yes please! (well…as healthy as booze can be, ha!)

MIXOLOGY: Bourbon Rosemary Fizz

Bourbon Rosemary Fizz

Surprise! I came back to share with you a cocktail recipe to celebrate the new year. Nothing better than receiving 2013 with a glass of sparkling Bourbon Rosemary Fizz. This by far is one of my favorite cocktails – fresh, festive, and super easy to make.

Some recipes call for a simple syrup infused with rosemary, but not this one, who has the time?! This version is prepared like a mojito, where all the magic happens in the shaker, without having to spend extra time in the kitchen – which saves you time so you can party hardy. Ok, grab pen and paper. Ready?
