I’ve talked before, many times in fact, about my love for a Hot Toddy. Well, this year, when summer rolled around, I wasn’t quite ready to let my Hot Toddy sipping go. Since I make my Hot Toddy with fresh ginger, it is, at it’s core, a tea (with plenty of whiskey added of course). So, I decided to try making an iced version of my hot toddy with the tea as the base and a bit of ginger ale to add a little sparkle for summer. It turned out so well and I’m thrilled I can now enjoy my very favorite cocktail year round.

ICED (HOT) TODDY WITH GINGER
Ingredients.
6 cups boiling water
1 lemon, sliced
2 lemons, juiced
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1
/4 cup honey
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
ginger ale
ice cubes with quartered lemon slices
bourbon or whiskey
Directions.
Place the sliced lemon, lemon juice, grated ginger, honey, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the six cups of boiling water and allow it to cool to room temperature. This creates an intense ginger tea. Pour through a strainer into another pitcher to filter out the seeds, cinnamon sticks, and ginger.
Pour two ounces of each: the ginger tea, ginger ale, bourbon. Stir. Add ice. Enjoy.
