Ingredients
  

  • 1-½ cups hot water
  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • ¼ oz fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • lemon rounds for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the Bourbon--stir with a cinnamon stick to dissolve the honey.
  • Pour into mugs
  • Add lemon rounds and serve

Notes

You may want to experiment a little with the lemon juice. Start small and add more as you go. It can be strong and overpower the other ingredients.
Feel free to use other spirits such as rye or brandy to give it a spicier taste.
If you like the drink with more lemon flavor, add a slice or two of lemon peel to the hot water while simmering.
