Everyone around me is sick. Sinus infection, stomach flu, or the common cold? No thank you! I luckily (knock on wood!) haven’t been sick yet this season. But I have a trick up my sleeve, the Hot Toddy!
The honey is smooth on the throat, the lemon is full of vitamin C, and the bourbon… well, it’s just good! The drink is warm, soothing and will make you feel much better.
