The Hot Toddy is a cocktail staple, an ancient drink from the earliest days of mixology, it's actual origin is probably impossible to pin down. It's nothing more than a simple mixture of hot water, some kind of spirit and some sugars. Some folks, like myself, add in a lemon twist and a dash or two of bitters. If you're using the right spirit, it can be absolute heaven in a glass. So, allow me to humbly submit what I believe to be the perfect, absolute best, hot toddy.
Hot Toddy
2 oz. or 60 ml. Whisk(e)y (I'm using Monkey Shoulder)
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Simple Syrup
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
4 oz. or 120 ml. near boiling water
Garnish with a lemon twist

I feel you on batch shooting these episodes man.😂😂😂 for me, the tipping point happens in the 4th consecutive shoot. everything after that gets... interesting. love the channel. keep doing what you do. 👍

[@howtodrink]

Holy hell! Whiskey Tribe is watching my show! Thanks for checking me out! There's really not much of a way around batch shooting for me at this point, but it definitely involves a healthy dose of stratergy to keep myself standing by the end. I genuinely don't remember much from my Tiki Series.

[@burleymullins8776]

I imagine a lot of tribe members are also regular watchers 😂

[@danfc3s]

I hear you on those tiki drinks Greg, I don't remember much of my bucks night after I visited a tiki bar and had two drinks that are legally okay for one person to drink and one that they can only legally sell if two people collect it... I had visited one bar before that where at least three people bought me a pint of beer, I supposedly visited at least three more bars that night and ended up dancing at a club where my friend who was a bouncer there got me free drinks until I got kicked out for being too drunk... Or so I'm told...

[@sewoh100]

I love how you describe how the drink tastes without sounding pretentious

[@AFlyingCoconut]

Growing up in Scotland and this being a common drink at New Years (even for kids older than 5), I have to point out that traditionally we used and still use honey, not syrup. Of course it may come down to preference, but the mix of a proper Scottish heather honey mixed in with the hot water and whiskey gives a taste that can never be forgotten, guaranteed peaceful sleep :D I know some of you prefer to use tea as opposed to hot water, tea was an English thing however, we Scots were not afforded such luxuries.. Apart from the worlds best whiskey of course ;)

The honey is the key ingredient. It was also used as a "medicinal" drink when sick

I was taught the hot whiskey by an expat irish gentlemen at a bar in Houston, TX. Lemon wheel studded with cloves in the bottom, pour over about 2 oz. of good Irish whiskey, top with hot water. That's it, nothing else. Previously I grew up on bourbon, lemon, honey, and hot water. Which, when served at room temp by the spoonful, was prescribed by my pediatrician for us as kids as a better cure for the common cold than anything he could get us from the pharmacy.

[@wingracer1614]

Pretty much exactly my recipe. Absolutely delicious and so soothing for a sore throat.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

I like a spiced Hot Toddie with brandy. I typically stud a few cloves around a lemon wheel, press out the juice, and maybe add a cinnamon stick. A bit of simple syrup, a dose of brandy, then very hot water. It's so nice. edit: I'd also suggest one of my favorite winter drinks, the Snowshoe. It is super simple: (roughly) half and half brandy or bourbon and mint schnapps, over ice, stirred of course. I have two favorite cheap-o brandies, one which seems to work great with spice like apple cider, and one that does well with things like mint and chocolate. Adjust the ratio to your own taste. I have not had a Snowshoe with a bourbon or with good old Jack Daniels that was bad, so it seems a safer bet.

[@davidpascoe293]

That's a nice goose-neck kettle, Greg. Excuse me while I grab mine for the coffee-makin'. More relevant to the topic at hand, I often use the toddy as a sore throat remedy, with half an ounce of lemon juice and a healthy dollop of honey. The honey and lemon sooth while the whiskey deadens the pain of terrible, terrible choices. And then there all the spices. Sometimes I float a lovely star anise pod, sometimes a couple of whole cloves, and stir with a cinnamon stick. Still, I believe I'll be giving your recipe a shot, soon. For one, it's an excuse to get some Monkey Shoulder, of which I have heard much. I usually go with a bourbon or rye, depending on how spicy I'm feeling. Cheers, good sir. To your health.

I was always told this was a medicinal drink. Honey being the best thing for a cold/flu and cause it's thick, you have to add boiling water. Also, honey doesn't always have the best taste so you want to round out the flavor with whiskey which by the way, keeps the chills at bay. You gotta get your Vitamin C in there so add some lemon.

@@aineb100 I'm in Kentucky, USA. Thank you for your advice! I'm a seasoned bourbon drinker since I grew up around it, but I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the selection of scotches/whiskies.😖

I hate myself and want to die.

Relatable

Have a good scotch and a good cigar in front of a roaring fire. You'll feel better

Mum always added tea and mint along with the lemon and it was a great drink when you were sick. Love a good toddy

When I was 7 years old, my grandmother made me this drink after falling very ill from flu like symptoms. It was the sickest I had ever felt. She made me this drink but she added peppermints in it. I woke up the next morning in a pool of sweat but every symptom was GONE. I will never forget how amazing I felt the next morning. This worked as a miracle cure for a bad cold.
