Happy Hot Toddy Day!
Beat the chill with a Maker's Mark Hot Toddy!
Today is National Hot Toddy Day, y'all! Between the cold weather and all the nasty viruses that are going around, it seems like a good day to celebrate. So, grab a bottle of your favorite bourbon (I like Maker's Mark for this one!), some local honey, and a lemon and enjoy!
- 1 oz bourbon
- 1 oz steaming-hot water
- Local honey
- 1 lemon
Put a kettle of water on to boil. Drizzle honey in the bottom of coffee mug. Pour in one ounce bourbon, or to taste. Squeeze juice of 1/4 lemon into mug. Pour in hot water. Add additional bourbon and/or hot water to taste.
Cheers, y'all!
HerKentucky's Favorite Bourbon Cocktail Recipes
Celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month with a Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail!
September is Bourbon Heritage Month. This month at HerKentucky, we've shown you some sweet treats made with bourbon, a delicious savory bourbon sauce, a fabulous historic tour, and even a great way to support bourbon sustainability efforts. But you know what we haven't discussed yet? Cocktails.
Everyone knows that the best way to enjoy Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is neat, with a couple of ice cubes to evenly dilute the flavor. But, sometimes you need to mix it up. Here is a list of some of the HerKentucky team's favorite bourbon cocktail recipes.
Liz's Skinny Manhattan
Liz came up with a way to enjoy her very favorite bourbon drink without packing in the extra calories. You can check out the recipe here.
The HerKentucky Pumpkin Spiced Manhattan
Liz has another take on her beloved Manhattan here. This time, she added the tastes of autumn!
Belle's Berry Cobbler Mint Julep
Glenda had this drink at Belle's Cocktail House in Lexington, and loved it so much that she asked for the recipe!
Maker's Mark Hot Toddy
This is my go-to recipe when I'm fighting off a cold, or when there's a chill in the air. We first ran the recipe for National Hot Toddy Day. But, this time of year, should they all be hot toddy days?
What's your favorite bourbon cocktail?
Maker's Mark Hot Toddy
The classic bourbon cure for what ails you.
I've had the worst cold, y'all. The kind where you don't really want to do anything but lie around in your pajamas and watch bad TV on Netflix. And drink a hot toddy.
I made a batch of hot toddies the other night, and I swear my fever broke just after drinking one. At the very least, they kept us all warm and happy on a cold night!
