When winter sets in, we find ourselves on the hunt for new hot cocktail recipes the richer and more luxurious, the better So we were thrilled to find the hot for teacher recipe from punch, courtesy of matthew belanger & shannon tebay at pouring ribbons in new york city. Its sort of a mash-up of tiki cocktails like the pearl diver and the hot-buttered-something group of drinks. It takes a little extra effort beforehand to mix up the batter, but youll be rewarded with an excess you can store in the freezer and use to make piping-hot drinks all winter long. The original recipe calls for the honey syrup at a 2: 1 ratio. If all you have is 1: 1 and you dont feel like making more, itll turn out fine, if a little less sweet. The resulting batter will be a little runnier, so you may want to store the leftover batter in a small covered dish instead of wrapping it in plastic wrap like you might do with a firmer batter.
