Hot Honey Toddy



This hot honey toddy, like the name suggests, utilizes hot honey for both heat and sweetness. I was telling Elsie and Laura about this and I was surprised that neither of them had heard of hot honey. Have you heard of it? I guess I’ve seen it in a few cookbooks and we also serve it at The Golden Girl Rum Club with wings, pizza, or other dishes. I personally love it on pizza.


Hot Honey Toddy
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 1/2 ounce hot honey
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- top with hot water
- Add the bourbon and honey to a mug. Top with hot water and give it a good stir, to dissolve the honey. Then top with lemon juice. Serve garnished with a lemon rind or wedge, optional.
To make your own hot honey, combine 2 large dried chilis and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes with 12 ounces of honey over low heat. Cook for 30 minutes, then allow to cool. Remove the large chilis and store in a container with a lid. If you want to strain out the red peppers you can, or you can leave them in.
