This recipe is the final outcome of trying out different concoctions. I'm not a whiskey drinker, but my BF just can't stop drinking it (whether he's sick or not!) You can use any whiskey you like but he says this one works best.

HOT TODDY



Hot Toddy image

Whether you're sick in bed or fresh off the slopes, a hot toddy warms everything up. The classic formula of whiskey, sugar and hot water is like the steamy cousin of an old-fashioned, but these days, a lot of other ingredients (citrus juice, apple cider, various spices) get added in the name of innovation, with mixed results. This version cozies up to the original, with a few optional additions based on preference. First, warm the mug with hot water, which primes the vessel to hold heat longer, yielding a truly hot toddy to the last sip. Then add scotch or bourbon, or for a modern twist, rum, cognac or amaro. Stir in a little honey, maple syrup or Demerara sugar, add hot water and stir to dissolve. Garnish with lemon peel and spices, if you like.

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

Boiling water, as needed
2 ounces scotch, bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, dark rum, cognac or amaro
3/4 ounce light honey, such as acacia, or maple syrup (or 1 teaspoon Demerara sugar)
1 (3-inch) lemon peel
Cinnamon stick and whole star anise, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-ounce heatproof mug or glass with boiling water and set aside, 1 minute. Pour out the water then add the spirit and honey to the warmed glass. Top with boiling water and stir until the honey is dissolved. Garnish with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick or star anise, if desired. Let cool slightly before enjoying.

MODERN HOT TODDY

Think of this drink as the darker, richer cousin to the classic hot toddy. Choose an amaro with citrus notes that is medium in body and bitterness, and use a six-ounce serving vessel. (The smaller size will help the drink retain heat.) Warming the serving vessel and the ingredients themselves helps to keep the hot toddy, well, hot, but if you're keen on skipping one of the steps to a superiorly hot toddy, make it warming the ingredients - and drink with the urgency that choice demands.

Time 15m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon (or 1 individual bag) strong black loose-leaf tea, such as English breakfast
1 to 2 teaspoons brown sugar
3/4 ounce medium-bodied rum, preferably gold
3/4 ounce amaro, such as Ramazzotti or Averna
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
Lemon slice, to finish

Steps:

  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Fill a 6-ounce heatproof mug or glass with boiling water and set aside, 1 minute.
  • Pour out the water, then add a tea bag or strainer and sugar to the warmed glass. Top with 4 ounces boiling water.
  • As the tea steeps, set another small heatproof mug or glass in a small saucepan or baking dish. Pour more boiling water around it, so the water comes halfway up the sides. Add the rum and amaro to the mug, and allow to sit and warm through.
  • Once the tea has steeped for 3 to 5 minutes, remove the tea bag or strainer, add the now-warmed rum and amaro mixture, stirring to ensure the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice and finish with a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
