Door 21: What's in Your Glass?

On a cold December night, I settled on the perfect drink to go with the little black dress: bourbon on the rocks in a wee cut-crystal glass. That warm amber hue, glinting inside crystal, looks terrific against black. It also goes very well with menswear (which, I know, is often black).

But sometimes, especially in the deep cold of December, we prefer bourbon not on the rocks or neat but with hot water. Try this recipe for a bourbon hot toddy behind Door 21.

A related, lesser known option is the Rock & Rye hot toddy. You can read about the background for this drink here in one of Eric Felten's terrific WSJ articles and find a recipe for the hot toddy version here.
