Classic hot toddy

Recipes Drinks
The Hot Toddy is the Scottish answer to cold winter evenings and the onset of a cold. This isn't merely an alcoholic drink, but a warming 'potion', where honey soothes the throat, lemon provides Vitamin C, and the whiskey... well, the whiskey tends to the soul and warms the body with its vasodilating effect.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heatproof glass mug: For visibility and heat resistance.
  • Lemon squeezer: For fresh juice.

Instructions

1 ✓

Boil water and pour it into the heatproof mug to warm it up, then pour the water out.

Tip: If you pre-warm the mug, the drink stays hot longer, and the glass won't crack from thermal shock.
2 ✓

Place the honey and whiskey at the bottom of the mug, and squeeze in a little lemon juice.

Tip: Honey dissolves more easily in warm alcohol than in water.
3 ✓

Top up with fresh hot water and stir until the honey is completely dissolved.

Tip: Do not use boiling water; let it stand for a minute after boiling so it doesn't burn your tongue or immediately evaporate the alcohol.
4 ✓

Garnish with the lemon slice and cinnamon stick.

Tip: Inhaling the lemon and cinnamon scents rising with the steam is part of the experience.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use other alcohol?
Yes, it's excellent with dark rum or brandy too, but the original flavour comes from whiskey.
