Thirsty Thursday: Hot Toddy with Skinnygirl Bare Naked Vodka

With DC in the grips of an Arctic blast and my own hometown currently buried under six feet of snow, I have to say my main priority this week was staying cozy ‘n toasty. I added extra blankets to my bedding, pulled out my favorite cable knit head wrap and strategized work outfits involving the most layers possible. Not to mention drinking countless cups of tea just so I could wrap my hands around the warm mug.

I’m keeping the general idea of hot beverage + awesome mug = total goldmine on a freezing day or night for this week’s Thirsty Thursday but adding a wee bit of a kick to it!

And because yours truly is prone to winter weight gain, we’re keeping this cocktail light with Skinnygirl Bare Naked Vodka.

P.S. If you’re in WNY, stay warm + safe!

Ingredients

1 ½ parts Skinnygirl® Bare Naked Vodka

1 tsp agave nectar

1 part boiling water

3 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 lemon wedge

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Directions

Pour the agave nectar, boiling water and vodka into a mug.

Add cloves, cinnamon and the lemon wedge.

Allow the mixture to steep for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg before serving.

Cheers + snuggle up with a good book (I’m currently reading Wild)!!
