Drink Seven: Merry and Bright

 

George Howell Coffee's Merry and Bright  is their riff on a hot toddy made with their own Guduba Medium Ethiopian coffee (instead of tea) and Bourbon! They originally made the drink using the Press P5, but we’ve scaled it here for the Ultralight Press. You can use regular honey but they had Ethiopian honey they sourced and it's a lot more floral, adding some extra brightness to this drink. Scroll below to see the recipe!
