Hot Toddy
A spin on the classic—Bourbon, lemon, honey, cinnamon, and clove all make an appearance. I use chamomile tea instead of water and mace instead of nutmeg. I find that both of their milder flavors let me taste everything else in even proportions. The mace also looks like a flame, and flaming drinks just look plain cool.
