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.

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.
MODERN HOT TODDY
Think of this drink as the darker, richer cousin to the classic hot toddy. Choose an amaro with citrus notes that is medium in body and bitterness, and use a six-ounce serving vessel. (The smaller size will help the drink retain heat.) Warming the serving vessel and the ingredients themselves helps to keep the hot toddy, well, hot, but if you're keen on skipping one of the steps to a superiorly hot toddy, make it warming the ingredients - and drink with the urgency that choice demands.

Steps:
- Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Fill a 6-ounce heatproof mug or glass with boiling water and set aside, 1 minute.
- Pour out the water, then add a tea bag or strainer and sugar to the warmed glass. Top with 4 ounces boiling water.
- As the tea steeps, set another small heatproof mug or glass in a small saucepan or baking dish. Pour more boiling water around it, so the water comes halfway up the sides. Add the rum and amaro to the mug, and allow to sit and warm through.
- Once the tea has steeped for 3 to 5 minutes, remove the tea bag or strainer, add the now-warmed rum and amaro mixture, stirring to ensure the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice and finish with a lemon slice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

Steps:
- Squeeze a piece of lemon (1 tablespoon) into a microwave-safe mug.
- Add the spoonful of honey, whiskey and hot water.
- Microwave until piping hot (maybe 30-45 secs).
- Add spices to taste.
- Chase that cold away!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the hot toddy will be. Use fresh lemon juice, high-quality honey or agave syrup, and a good quality whiskey, brandy, or rum.
- Don't boil the water: Boiling the water will kill the beneficial properties of the honey and lemon juice. Instead, heat the water until it is just simmering.
- Add the honey or agave syrup to the hot water first: This will help the honey or agave syrup to dissolve properly and prevent it from clumping.
- Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the hot toddy and makes it look more festive.
- Serve immediately: Hot toddies are best enjoyed hot, so serve them immediately after they are made.
Conclusion:
A hot toddy is a classic wintertime drink that is perfect for warming up on a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of hot water, lemon juice, honey or agave syrup, and whiskey, brandy, or rum, a hot toddy is the perfect drink for soothing a sore throat, clearing congestion, and promoting relaxation. So next time you're feeling under the weather, or just want to warm up on a cold night, give a hot toddy a try.
