Recipe Introduction

What is more perfect to enjoy on a cold winter day than a delightful hot toddy? From the mouthwatering aroma of nutmeg, to the warm taste of cider, these cocktails are guaranteed to put an end to your winter blues. Hot toddies originated sometime during the 18th century in order to make the taste of scotch more palatable to women. It is also believed that the word "toddy" was introduced into Scotland by a member of the British East India Company because there was a popular drink in India called a toddy during that same time period. Today there are many variations to the original hot toddy recipe including those with tea, coffee, cocoa, water, and apple cider. In addition to alcohol, spices, butter, and sweeteners (such as honey or sugar) can also be added to hot toddies. To celebrate National Hot Toddy Day, brew up your favorite type of hot toddy and enjoy!
