For Colleen, with Compliments to Mr. Boston

With compliments to the Mr. Boston: Official Bartender's and Party Guide, and in response to Colleen's query, I offer the following bit of evening salvation:

Hot Brick Toddy
Into punch cup, put:

• 1 tsp. Butter
• 1 tsp. Powdered Sugar
• 3 pinches Cinnamon
• 1 oz. Hot Water

Dissolve thoroughly. Then, add 1-1/2oz Blended Whiskey. Fill with boiling water and stir.

Note: We prefer mugs to punch cups, as they are better for wrapping cold hands around to warm up. Also, more fits in a mug. This is not a dainty sort of drink, more one to prop yourself up with - a sort of portable winter fortification.
