DR. PAT'S HOT TODDY COLD REMEDY



Dr. Pat's Hot Toddy Cold Remedy image

Okay, so our family doctor suggested this instead of prescription cough syrup for relieving the cold symptoms of the ADULTS in our family (he of course, did NOT suggest it as a CURE). He says the whisky helps you sleep while the honey and lemon soothe your throat. I'm pretty sure it works, but in the end we really don't care because we love this warm drink when we aren't feeling well. Even sometimes when we are feeling well! UPDATE: Our beloved Dr. Pat passed away November 19,2010 at the age of 59 from Melanoma so now this recipe with all of it's great reviews is even more special to our family. We will miss you forever Pat!!!

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium orange
5-6 medium lemons
4 (3") cinnamon sticks
1 (4") piece ginger, peeled, smashed, plus more thinly sliced for serving
4 Earl Grey tea bags
1 tsp. whole cloves
2/3 cup honey
2 cups rye whiskey (we recommend Angel's Envy Rum-Finished Rye)
1 tsp. orange or aromatic bitters
Orange twists (for serving)

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from orange and 1 lemon in wide strips, leaving white pith behind; slice fruit in half. Squeeze juice from orange into a small bowl (you should have about 1/4 cup). Squeeze juice from lemon into a measuring glass. Slice remaining lemons in half and squeeze juice into glass to measure 1 cup total; save any remaining lemon halves for another use. Set orange and lemon juice aside.
  • Place zest in a small saucepan. Whack cinnamon sticks with the side of a chef's knife to break up a little and add to saucepan along with smashed ginger, tea bags, cloves, and 1 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat; let sit 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, then stir in honey; let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Strain tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher and add rye, bitters, and reserved orange juice and lemon juice. Add 2 cups ice and stir until ice is melted and toddy is very cold.
  • To serve, pour toddy into tumblers filled with ice and garnish with ginger slices and orange twists.
  • Do Ahead
  • Tea mixture can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Toddy can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose quality ingredients: Use fresh citrus fruits, quality honey, and smooth whiskey for the best flavor.
  • Balance the flavors: Adjust the amounts of citrus, honey, and water to suit your taste. If it's too tart, add more honey. If it's too sweet, add more citrus or water.
  • Experiment with different citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes can all be used to make a cold toddy. Try different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Garnish with a citrus twist: A lemon or orange twist adds a bit of extra flavor and aroma to your cold toddy.
  • Serve immediately: A cold toddy is best enjoyed fresh. Don't let it sit for too long, or the ice will melt and dilute the flavors.

Conclusion:

A cold toddy is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a great drink to enjoy at home or with friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the cold toddy a try.
