HOT TODDY

Whether you're sick in bed or fresh off the slopes, a hot toddy warms everything up. The classic formula of whiskey, sugar and hot water is like the steamy cousin of an old-fashioned, but these days, a lot of other ingredients (citrus juice, apple cider, various spices) get added in the name of innovation, with mixed results. This version cozies up to the original, with a few optional additions based on preference. First, warm the mug with hot water, which primes the vessel to hold heat longer, yielding a truly hot toddy to the last sip. Then add scotch or bourbon, or for a modern twist, rum, cognac or amaro. Stir in a little honey, maple syrup or Demerara sugar, add hot water and stir to dissolve. Garnish with lemon peel and spices, if you like.

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

Boiling water, as needed
2 ounces scotch, bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, dark rum, cognac or amaro
3/4 ounce light honey, such as acacia, or maple syrup (or 1 teaspoon Demerara sugar)
1 (3-inch) lemon peel
Cinnamon stick and whole star anise, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-ounce heatproof mug or glass with boiling water and set aside, 1 minute. Pour out the water then add the spirit and honey to the warmed glass. Top with boiling water and stir until the honey is dissolved. Garnish with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick or star anise, if desired. Let cool slightly before enjoying.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Grapefruits: Choose grapefruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or signs of decay.
  • Use Freshly Squeezed Grapefruit Juice: Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice provides the best flavor and nutrients. If you don't have a juicer, you can purchase high-quality grapefruit juice from the store.
  • Choose High-Quality Honey: Opt for raw, unfiltered honey for its superior flavor and health benefits. Look for honey that is local or organic.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a spicy kick to the toddy. Peel and grate the ginger just before using for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the toddy before adding additional honey or sugar. The sweetness level should complement the tartness of the grapefruit.
  • Serve Hot: Serve the hot grapefruit toddy immediately after preparation to enjoy its warmth and soothing properties.

Conclusion:

The hot grapefruit toddy is a comforting and revitalizing beverage that combines the refreshing tang of grapefruit with the soothing warmth of honey and ginger. Its simple ingredients and easy preparation make it an ideal remedy for cold and flu symptoms, sore throats, and overall wellness. Whether you're looking to boost your immune system or simply relax and unwind, this traditional drink offers a delightful and beneficial experience. So, gather your ingredients, follow the steps, and savor the goodness of a hot grapefruit toddy whenever you need a comforting pick-me-up.
