Frozen Lemon Toddy
Summer 2018
Spiked with Irish whiskey, zingy with lemon and fragrant from tea and honey, this cocktail takes all the complex flavours of a good Hot Toddy and turns them into a frozen drink. Feel free to experiment with other flavours of tea. You could also try infusing the syrup with a cinnamon stick and a few cloves.
Makes 2 drinks
4 oz Irish whiskey
2½ oz Earl Grey Honey Syrup (recipe follows)
2 oz strained fresh lemon juice
2 cups (500 mL) ice cubes
2 lemon slices
Straws
1. Pour whiskey, syrup and lemon juice into an airtight container and stir. Freeze at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. (It will thicken but not completely solidify because of the alcohol.)
2. Place 2 Irish coffee glasses or lowball glasses in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
3. Pour drink mixture into blender and add ice. Blend until smooth. Divide among chilled glasses. (There may be a little extra—a bonus for the bartender.) Garnish with lemon slices and serve with straws.

EARL GREY HONEY SYRUP
Like bergamot-infused honey, this intense syrup could also be used to sweeten iced tea or in other cocktails that call for honey syrup, such as a Bee’s Knees.
½ cup (125 mL) honey
6 tbsp (90 mL) water
3 Earl Grey tea bags
1. In a small saucepan, whisk honey and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Let steep 10 minutes. Remove bags and press with spoon to extract syrup into the mixture. Cool completely. Transfer to glass jar with lid. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Makes ⅔ cup (150 mL)
