Hot Toddy

The Hot Toddy is a warm, alcoholic beverage that has a long history, dating back to the 18th century. It is believed to have originated in Scotland, where it was used as a home remedy to help relieve cold and flu symptoms. The traditional recipe for a Hot Toddy includes a spirit, typically whiskey, honey, lemon juice, and hot water. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are sometimes added to give it more flavor. The drink was popular among sailors, farmers and workers who would consume it to warm them up during the cold winter months. The Hot Toddy is still enjoyed today as a comforting and warming drink, and is commonly consumed during the colder seasons of the year.
