Damp and chilly autumn afternoons call for bourbon hot toddies that warm you from the inside out. This cocktail has a base of spiced orange tea, freshly grated ginger, and bourbon. Honey and brown sugar bring warm sweetness, and a lemon garnish adds brightness at the top. It soothes the throat, warms the chest, and primes the body for cold-weather hibernation.
So put the kettle on, and cozy up for a long evening by the fire.
