Ambyr’s Go-To Holiday Cocktails

 Hi everyone!

Happy December! I could not be more excited for the holidays and for the end of this insane year. This week I am sharing a couple winter cocktails that are keeping me warm (and sane) during these last few weeks of 2020. Hope you enjoy and please drink responsibly.

Classic Hot Toddy Recipe:

 Ingredients:

• Boiling water, as needed
• 1 ½ ounces whiskey
• 2 teaspoons light honey, such as acacia, or maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
• 1 (3-inch) lemon peel
•  Cinnamon stick and whole star anise, to garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a teapot or saucepan, bring the water to a simmer. Pour about 1 cup of hot water into cup
2. Add the whiskey, 2 teaspoons honey and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Stir until the honey has disappeared into the hot water.
3. Garnish with lemon round and cinnamon stick (if using) and Enjoy!

 

And my other favorite....

Spiked Coffee:

 Ingredients:

• Coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
• Coffee
• Milk and sugar to preference

 Instructions:

1. Add one part Kahlua and fill up with freshly brewed hot coffee
2. Serve in a coffee cup, add milk and sugar to your preference. 

 

Of course, you’ll need to get that perfect insta shot of you holding your holiday drink in front of a fire or tree, rings glistening on your hand. Check out some of my favorite ACJ rings that are currently 25% off.
