Winter warmers are the best. They can be the remedy for those aches and pains that come along with the dreaded winter cold or flu OR they can warm your bones after a long day out on the slopes.
One of my favorites is the Hot Toddy. For decades people have used the hot toddy as a natural remedy for easing that tickle in the throat. Think of it like chicken soup, but with a bit more kick!
The reason it works is that the whiskey eases our congestion and helps you fall asleep.
Now let’s make one:
- -Combine your favorite whiskey (about 1 1/2 ounces) with spiced herbal tea OR just hot water.
-Drizzle in local honey.
-Add squeeze of fresh lemon.
-Don’t forget the cinnamon stick for stirring!
By the time you finish the drink, hopefully that cough will have calmed down a bit. And you’re feeling a bit sleepy so you can get some much needed rest.

Be sure not to over-indulge as more than one may actually have the reverse effect on your symptoms. So stick to one and you should be good to go.
