Low Sodium Hot Toddy

When the temperature drops and your throat starts to feel scratchy, this warm whiskey drink is exactly what you want cradling in both hands. Honey and fresh lemon juice do the heavy lifting here, wrapping the bold character of bourbon or Scotch in something soothing and genuinely delicious. The honey dissolves right into a splash of hot water first, which keeps everything smooth and evenly sweetened throughout the mug. A cinnamon stick and a couple of whole cloves are optional, but they add a subtle spiced warmth that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. Because the recipe relies entirely on whole, unprocessed ingredients — whiskey, honey, citrus, water — there's no hidden sodium sneaking in from packaged mixes or flavored syrups. It's a clean, naturally low-salt drink that still feels indulgent, which makes it a smart choice when you're being mindful about what goes into your glass.
