The Hot Toddy is the perfect cocktail to warm the soul on a frigid day.
The Hot Toddy has been around for ages. The Scottish would often sip this warm concoction before going to bed, and before that, people thought this drink could cure colds.
If I had to find a term for this cocktail, I’d call it the “Comfort Cocktail.” And with that name, why not enjoy it, perhaps, under a nice warm blanket with a good book to read. For the record, that’s what I did when I created this delight. It warms the throat with its spiciness. If you get snowy winters, like I do here in Italy, you can’t get a better drink than this. So I give you this wintertime miracle cocktail to keep you from suffering in the frigid cold weather.
