Rachel Maddow’s Hot Toddy recipe

Category: TVBill Mason @ 10:26 pm

As transcribed from the December 23rd, 2008 MSNBC episode of The Rachel Maddow Show, because you have to preserve these things for posterity.

  1. Take equal parts of honey and water. Heat them up a little bit on the stove so you get a thin honey syrup.
  2. In a mug or a thick glass, put in:

    • ½ ounce (or maybe an ounce) of the honey syrup
    • ½ ounce of dark rum
    • ½ ounce of bourbon
    • ½ ounce of fresh lemon juice
    • top it off with 3 ounces of hot water out of the kettle
  3. Stir those around a little bit.
  4. Spritz a lemon slice as a garnish.

Miriam swears by it.

Here is the original broadcast:
