Oh, hello again. While I hold whiskey dear to my heart, Tequila is right next to it. I couldn’t help while writing and putting together my whiskey hot toddy how tequila would taste in one of these–I was also running out of lemons and had a hefty stock of limes! Now, hot tequila doesn’t sound so appealing, but don’t be scared! It’s quite delish once you sort the portions 🙂

I wish I had a proper ‘ponche’ mug but my lovely glass substitute will have to do until then.
Hot Toddy Tequila Recipe
- 1 mug (current glass holds about 1.3 oz of liquid for your reference)
- 2 oz Tequila (DON’T JUDGE I used Mr. Cuervo’s Resposado for this one)
- 1 tsp of honey
- splash of simple syrup
- 1 oz lime juice (juice from a half a lime)
- powdered cinnamon
- dash of angostura bitters
Instructions:
- Get your hot water ready! Whether you’re heating it up on the stove, microwave, or electric water kettle, this takes TIME. So start it now.
- Pour your lime juice, honey, simple syrup, tequila, two dashes of cinnamon powder, and one dash of angostura bitters all in your glass/mug.
- MIX while you wait for the water to boil.
- Fill the rest of your mug with water. Done.
If you haven’t seen a pattern yet, my drinks are for folks that want to have a tasty drink with no frills. I understand aromas are important, but it shouldn’t haven’t to be a show. I work a 9-5 job and it’s NOT making cocktails (though, I’ve thought about it!) so I just want to have a simple but complex tasting drink and relax. Then drink a few more 🙂
Hope you enjoy!
