Tuesday: Hot Toddy
This week, my nose is runny and my throat is sore. After the second kid threw up in class Monday, I'm officially calling that elementary school "the vomit school". I hope I don't have anything. As a reminder, be sure to wash your hands often and with soap for at least 30 seconds. However, if you are feeling under the weather and want something hot to help you sleep, try this.
The Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1.5 ounces whiskey of your choice
1 ounce honey
1/2 ounce lemon juice
3 ounces hot water
DIRECTIONS
Dissolve the honey in hot water
Add lemon juice
Stir in whiskey
The Notes
So I realized in the middle of this post that I've been posting these recipes in U.S. measurements. D'oh! I've seen Imperial measuring spoons at my local supercenter, but I don't think people really use them. I'll append the metric conversion to the last recipe when I get a chance.
For this recipe 1 ounce ≈ 30 ml.
1.5 ounces = 1 standard shot glass
Google will do conversions for you if you type them in the form "how many km in 5 miles" Firefox 2.0 users will notice that if they type this into the Google search bar, it actually suggests the answer for you without you even having to go to the site.
The Resource
webtender.com
There are a lot of mixology sites on the Internet today. Webtender has been around since 1997-- and doesn't seem to have changed much aesthetically since then. So it's ugly but it gets the job done. Entire New Years Eve parties have been centered around their "In My Bar" feature, which lets you plug in the contents of your bar (tedious, but gets saved as a cookie) and automagically receive a list of drinks that you can make with those ingredients. Handy.
