Taking an idea from the thankfulness post, do any of you Hot Toddy drinkers out there have a favorite recipe for your medicinal compound?
Whiskey Hot Toddy
1 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey. I've been partial to Bulleit Frontier Whiskey. The absolute smoothest bourbon around!
1/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup or you can coat the bottom with honey
1 slice lemon
1 clove
4 oz hot water
(http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/mornincoffee.gif) Get yourself a mug or a heat resistant tankard fill with hot water. Add a lemon slice speared with a clove, and serve. You can add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon or cinnamon stick to the mix and its awesome too.

Add snow, friends and loved ones, and mix. Best when sprinkled liberally with end of day skiing tales.
My favorite and it's not measured, it's done by taste.
