Add whiskey to hot water, lemon, and honey and you have the classic Hot Toddy.
It might sound like a drink for little old ladies. If so, they’re my kind of gals.
While I typically do not indulge in alcohol during the working day, when a cold or the flu hits, there are no restrictions. A healthy shot of whisky makes that toddy a true wonder. A relaxing beverage. Soothing. Miraculous.
Don’t reach for the top shelf when making one of these. I’ll save my 18 year old Laphroaig for later. But a decent, inexpensive whiskey or bourbon, in generous proportion, will do nicely.
A dark rum will also work just fine. Don’t bother with the butter. I have enough stuff coating my throat already.
Just lemon, honey, hot water, and the water of life.
It almost makes the cold bearable.
