Hot Toddy <\/h2>\n

When it’s chilly outdoors, a hot toddy is a classic drink that will warm you up. It’s easy to make, and you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand. <\/p>\n

• ¼ of a lemon <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  How to Make It:<\/strong>
  \nCoat the bottom of your mug with a bit of honey. Add the liquor as well as the lemon juice. Heat water and add tea bag, making hot tea. Pour tea into the mug and stir well. Drink immediately. <\/p>\n

  Cuba Libre <\/h2>\n

  The Cuba Libre is not only a popular drink, but you can also make it in a jiffy. The mix of rum and Coke are classic, and a bit of lemon juice lightens it up. <\/p>\n

    Cape Codder <\/h2>\n

    A Cape Codder is a simple drink that consists of a shot of vodka and a bit of juice on ice. It’s generally made with cranberry juice, and a bit of vodka and cranberry juice are inexpensive ingredients. <\/p>\n
