If there's a bourbon cider, then there must be a bourbon hot toddy! While many classic bourbon cocktail recipes follow a certain traditional method of ingredients, the hot toddy is more of a subjective warm bourbon cocktail recipe. Most hot toddy cocktail recipes at least call for bourbon, honey, lemon juice, hot water, and autumn spices. However, variations may include apple cider vinegar, tea, brown sugar, orange slices, lemon peel, or some combination of these ingredients. For this more traditional hot toddy cocktail recipe, you'll simply add the bourbon, honey, lemon juice, and hot water to a mug and garnish with lemon and your favorite fall spice.
