hot toddies

Heated whiskey drinks

Hot toddies are warm alcoholic drinks typically made with whiskey, honey, lemon, and hot water or tea.

The drink is traditional cold-weather comfort, often credited with medicinal properties for soothing sore throats and helping sleep: I made us hot toddies after we came in from the snow.

Variations substitute rum, brandy, or other spirits.
