Grapefruit Hot Toddy

Here’s a classic. Easy to make, served in a mug, but nonetheless delicious. When it’s cold outside, there aren’t many better ways to warm up.

Ingredients

You probably already have this stuff in your kitchen.

• Hot water
• 1-2 shots of bourbon or rye whiskey
• Lemon juice (a half lemon per drink)
• A splash of honey or artificial sweetener
• A splash of grapefruit juice

This is an extremely flexible drink; if you have warm bourbon and citrus, you’re gonna have a good time.

Preparation

There’s no wrong way to do this, but I like to add the honey (or sweetener) after the hot water to make mixing easy, and then finish with the citrus.

• Boil some water, ideally in an electric kettle for easy pouring
• Pour the bourbon or rye into a mug
• Add the hot water
• Add the honey or sweetener, then stir to mix
• Add the lemon and grapefruit juice

That’s all there is to it! Enjoy — and stay warm ☕️
