classic hot toddy

Some people believe the Hot Toddy will cure a cold! I don’t know what to make of that, but I do know that on winter night when you just can’t get warm- this is the answer. Bourbon, hot water, lemon, honey, sage and cloves- the ingredient list sounds like it could cure SOMETHING, right?! Put on some comfortable PJs, cozy socks, blast Christmas music and play this. It’ll be magical, I promise. Enjoy! xx- Sarah {This post was produced in collaboration with Sarah Dickenson}
