Hot Toddy Recipe With Fireball

Now maybe you are like me and go why would I want to try a Hot Toddy Recipe or one with Fireball?  Let me tell you, this cold and flu season has been brutal.  Everyone around me seems to be dropping like flies from the flu or respiratory infections.  A Hot Toddy drink has made this season so much easier. 

Now I haven’t gotten super sick, but during the snowstorm in February, I just felt blah because our weather was all over the place!   A perfect nightcap to have before crawling into bed, knowing I would have to get up and shovel the driveway again. 

Now, funny story, when my girlfriend told me to make this drink, she called it a hot toddy, but I, in my congestion, heard hot toddy. And then came the coughing spell from laughing! Now you can leave out the Fireball Whiskey, but if you’re a whiskey drinker, you know how that can help you clear things out.

Hot Toddy Recipe With Fireball Ingredients:

• Tea Bag– If this is a nightcap, you can use one of the sleepy-time teas; note that a flavored tea will alter the drink’s taste.
• Honey– Using fresh local honey will help with allergy symptoms, but bottled store-bought honey also works.
• Hot Water
• Fireball Whiskey-In place of Fireball, Whiskey, or Bourbon as well if the cinnamon  in Fireball is too much
• Cinnamon Stick 
• Lemon Juice

How to make a hot toddy with Fireball

Fire up your Keurig, or start boiling some hot water. Now I use my Keurig nonstop for the hot water function, so easy and fast.

In a mug or glass, squirt in some honey and lemon juice and hang your teabag.  (If you can’t tell, I have a Mason jar problem and love my Mason jar mugs for cocktails) 

Pour in your hot water, or allow it to brew into the glass.  

Using a spoon or a stir stick, mix together to dissolve the honey on the bottom, then let it sit so the tea bag brews a bit.  I don’t leave the teabag in long as I don’t like a strong tea taste. You can use green tea, but I used a regular black tea bag.  

Pour in your Fireball shot. I got a shot bucket at Target over the summer with little bottles of Fireball. It has been perfect for making small cocktails like this. 

Now, let me just say a fireball tea is amazing as well if you don’t want the extras in it.

If you want to drop in a cinnamon stick.  Now, to save on cinnamon sticks, look at the bulk section or the Latino section of the store. Those are much more affordable options for full cinnamon sticks. In a pinch, ground cinnamon will work too

Remove your tea bag and give the cocktail one more stir to finish making your hot toddy Fireball nightcap. 

Enjoy your nightcap!!  

Can you make a hot toddy with Fireball?

Well, yes, you can! Also, I have been asked, “Is Fireball good for a cold?”?? And “does fireball help sore throat”?? While I am not sure of the scientific answer, the warming effect has helped… or maybe it’s the knock ya on your bum effect? Either way, this drink is amazing, and I felt pretty good!
