Notes
Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
Note 1: A good Irish whiskey such as Jamison Irish Whiskey is my first choice for a classic Hot Toddy. Bourbon, Rum, Brandy, or Scotch can be used.
Note 2: A cinnamon stick can be used instead of ground cinnamon.
Note 3: Ginger is a favorite addition to the toddy. A slice of fresh ginger is awesome or add ¼ teaspoon ground ginger.
Variations:
- I love an extra shot of lemon and ginger added to the saucepan when the water is boiling.
- Vegan options: use pure maple syrup instead of honey
- Citrus: try orange slices, or apple slices in this warm cocktail.
- Add black tea to your cocktail for an extra boost of flavor.
- Sweetener: If you prefer a bit of sweetness, try ½ teaspoon of either: white sugar, pure maple syrup, stevia, or monkfruit.
