Now funny story, when my girlfriend told me to make this drink she called it a hotty toddy, but I in my congestion heard hoddy toddy. And then came the coughing spell from laughing! Now you can leave out the Fireball Whiskey but if your 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 stir stick, mix together to dissolve your honey on the bottom and allow it to 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 another stir to finish making your hot toddy fireball nightcap.
Enjoy your nightcap!!
