CHAI HOT TODDY COCKTAIL: WILD BUCK WHISKEY

A hot toddy can be a warm pick-me-up drink on a cold day. Historically, a hot toddy has been used to ease throat and chest pain during colds or as a relaxing beverage before bedtime. You can create a classic hot toddy or tailor your hot toddy to your personal preferences by choosing a base liquid, alcohol, and flavorings that best suit your palate.

I’m not going to tell you that a Chai Hot Toddy will cure your cold, but this indulgence in a hot toddy should ease some of your cold symptoms. There are lemon and honey to soothe your throat and loosen congestion, and enough whiskey to help you on your way to slumber gently. The chai sure does make it taste good.
