Believe it or not, gin isn't just for summer. The herbal punch of a good London Dry can clear out the cobwebs in a big way, especially when served up in a potent mix of sugar, spice and heat. The Gin Toddy delivers a bracing punch mellowed by sugar and complex holiday aromas and flavors that bring comfort and joy in so very many ways. Plus, with a higher concentration of alcohol than a traditional toddy, this steaming spirit chases all cares away in a hurry.

Cook Time:5 min

Prep Time:3 min

Total Time:8 min

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

2 fluid ounce London Dry Gin (Bulldog packs a beautiful juniper wallop and an amazing bouquet when heated)

Juice of half a lemon

2 fluid ounce boiling water

1 tablespoon sugar or 1/2 tbsp agave nectar

1 teaspoon whole cloves

Preparation:

Combine the liquid ingredients in a goblet and add the cloves to steep for a few minutes. If you don't want them floating around use a tea ball or make a sachet out of cheesecloth and remove after 5 minutes. Otherwise leave them in for a more intense clove flavor.
