Enter this chamomile hot toddy. It’s a drink of whiskey, honey, and lemon mixed with chamomile tea to help you doze off in no time.
How to Make a Hot Toddy
Since the toddy is supposedly Irish in origin, purists insist that only Irish whiskey be used in the drink. However, as the recipe became popular outside Ireland, spreading throughout Europe and North America, so did its boozy variations. I say, use what you have in your liquor cabinet and most enjoy! Brandy, bourbon, and rum can all be used used in place of whiskey and make a delicious hot toddy. Also, while certainly not traditional, I find the addition of chamomile tea really transforms this soothing, but otherwise ho-hum drink into a truly fantastic cocktail. The floral notes of the tea bring out the sweeter, spicier notes of the spirits and give the drink a more captivating flavor.
