Sick of Sick: Hot Toddy to the Rescue!

*ehh ehh

*akek akek

Yes, I am coughing, which is not helping my horridly sore throat.  So tonight, thanks to my lovely roommate and her bottle of Johnny Walker Red Lable, am going to try and make myself better!

This photo holds the key…

hot toddy fixen’s

A lot of honey, maybe 2 tablespoons worth

About a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Fill glass with boiling water, but leave two inches of room at the top

Stir well

Pour in a shot of whiskey and take your poor self to the couch to watch a movie!

That’s what being sick is all about.

Shot of the Week: Alaska Pipeline

 In lieu of Sarah Palin’s performance during Thursday’s debate, I thought I would make a shot that hit close to home–and by home, I mean Alaska.

The Alaska Pipeline is:

1/2 Canadian whiskey

1/2 Amaretto

Poured into a mixer with ice, shaken and strained into the shot glass(es).

Most of the people thought it was a little sweet, but I was serving them to a gaggle of Sunday afternoon bar flies.  It’s a good girly drink with a mild bite.

For something a little more manly, try portioning it 1/3 Amaretto to 2/3 whiskey.

Enjoy!
