The holiday season is upon us. I have to say it is my favorite time of year. The decorations, the music, gift giving and of course all the yummy food and drink.
I am always looking for a new, tasty and interesting cocktail; this year I came across my dear friend and fellow bloggers recipe for the Ginger Citrus Hot Toddy. I love ginger and I love citrus, so it must be good…it is not just good but really good! Kimbrough Daniels, cocktail maker and product photographer extraordinaire teamed up with Powell & Mahoney to make this age old libation that is a classic winter warm-up cocktail.
You’ll need:
4 oz Powell & Mahoney’s Old Ballycastle Ginger Mixer
3 oz Freshly squeezed orange juice
1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbs Honey
2 oz Water
2 oz Golden Rum
2 oz Brandy
Fresh lime for squeezing and garnish
- Pour hot water into mugs to keep them nice and hot while you make the cocktail
- In a small saucepan add Powell & Mahoney’s Old Ballycastle Ginger Mixer,orange juice, lemon juice, honey and water, bring to a simmer.
- Add rum and brandy, stir to mix.
- Divide mixture of goodness into two mugs, squeeze a bit of lime into each mug.
- Garnish with a slice of lime and cheers to a hot drink on a cold night!
This recipe makes two generous hot toddies. For other great cocktail recipes check out Kimbroughs blog.
