Calories: 138kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup water
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice (fresh is best!)
- 1 - 1.5 ounces whiskey of choice (bourbon, rye, Irish, or scotch)
- optional garnish: lemon slice and/or a cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Heat your water (we usually do this in the microwave, but you can use the stovetop, a tea kettle, or hot pot too!).
- Add the honey and lemon juice to your mug.
- Pour the hot water over the honey and lemon, stirring to help dissolve the honey and combine the ingredients.
- Add in your whiskey of choice and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust to your liking, then add optional garnishes if desired.
- Sip slowly and enjoy!
Notes
Variation Ideas:
- Make it non-alcoholic. You can simply skip the whiskey to make this a non-alcoholic beverage.
- Use tea instead of water. Replace the water with prepared tea if desired. Try black (regular or decaf), ginger, or chamomile tea.
- Try apple cider instead of water. Fresh pressed or shelf-stable apple cider packets can both work. If you do this, I would recommend starting with a smaller about of honey and adding more if needed.
- Replace the whiskey with a dark rum or brandy. Replace one-to-one.
