How to Make a Hot Toddy | Black Tie Kitchen
Serious Bites / Two Bites
The hot toddy is about as seasonal as a drink can get. When the weather ranges from cold and crisp to blustery drippy and freezing a toddy is a must-have. But it’s also just a welcome contrast to the apple-y cranberry-filled holiday drinks we had in November or the richer heavier drinks of Christmas itself.
And if that weren’t enough the toddy is also wonderfully flexible: most people enjoy it with a generous splash of Scotch (it’s one of the few mixed drinks where a single malt is not only appropriate but desirable) but a good Irish whiskey will do just fine. Bourbon and rye can also work well and a toddy made with a good dark rum has a special appeal (and while I haven’t tried one a toddy made with a rich gin is said to be just as good).
