Dating back to the 1800's the Hot Toddy is known as the perfect night-cap to end a chilly winter day. Some even swear it's the best way to soothe a sore throat. This classic recipe is very easy to customize, so don't be afraid to experiment like we did with this Blood Orange Hot Toddy. While the original recipe calls for Irish Whiskey, the smooth sweet flavors found in most bourbons are also a great compliment to the fresh, tart lemon juice. Another way you can make this your own is by swapping the plain sugar for an alternate sweetener like honey or maple syrup, both will play nicely with the spicy clove and whiskey flavors. So whether you're fending off a cold, or thawing out by the fire, mixing up a classic like this is sure to warm you up from the inside out.

One of our top seasonal faves. This cider cocktail has the smooth taste of pressed apples with the warm finish of bourbon. The ginger liqueur and fresh grated ginger provide depth of flavor and the tiniest bit of bite. This one will warm you to the core.

An update to the classic Bees Knees cocktail, the Gold Rush substitutes bourbon for gin. Created in NYC's Milk and Honey Bar in the early 2000's, this cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, good for all seasons.

A refreshing porch-sipper, the Honey Bourbon Lemonade is as easy to mix up as it is to drink. Before adding the fresh mint garnish, roll the mint tightly and twist to release the fragrant aromas.
