What’s in a hot toddy?

To make a hot toddy, combine the following ingredients in a small mug.
Use a dark liquor like brandy, whiskey, rum, and bourbon. The best liquor for
making hot toddies is one you enjoy the flavor of. We love using dark rum or
bourbon.
Hot water is classic and easy, or try hot tea. Hot toddies made with tea are
extra soothing and delicious. We’ve tried a variety of teas ourselves. We love how
black tea, like English breakfast, stands up to the liquor, but a calmer, more
soothing tea like chamomile was wonderful, too. Ginger tea is also excellent.
Honey or maple syrup sweetens up our hot toddy. Add as much as you need.
Fresh lemon is classic in this recipe and I absolutely SAVED

Try our secret ingredient for the best hot toddy

A tiny splash of apple cider vinegar brings out all the flavors of the toddy
without making it taste too sweet. Adam came up with the idea after ordering a
hot toddy at a small bar in Seattle — they mixed in a shrub, which is basically a
fruit-and-vinegar syrup added to cocktails and sodas.
Since we don’t make our own shrubs at home, we thought adding a little splash of
apple cider vinegar just might work. It did. So well in fact that we think you
should try it yourself.
Make two hot toddies, one with vinegar and the other without. Then taste the
difference. I’m betting you’ll prefer the one with vinegar.
If you have a favorite shrub, try it in your drink. I bet it will be really delicious.

My grandmother swore by hot toddies for colds, but we skip the alcohol when
we’re sick. We do still make our hot toddy recipe, but leave out the alcohol. A drink
made with lemon, honey, hot water, and a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar is
soothing and feels amazing on a sore throat. Swap that hot water for tea like
chamomile, and you’re really talking.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
Apple cider vinegar: The acid from the apple cider vinegar brings out all the
flavors of the toddy without making it taste too sweet. The drink tastes great
without it as well, but if you have cider vinegar in your pantry, give it a try.
Tea: We’ve tried chamomile, ginger and even a black tea before. All were nice,
but the black tea really stood out as a favorite — especially with dark rum.
Hot Toddy Mocktail: Make the recipe as stated above, but leave out the rum.
This drink as a mocktail is delicious!

Thanks for the ideas! I used ginger and black tea with raw honey, Meyer
lemon, and cognac. Sadly I have covid, so zero aromas are getting through. I
made two cups, one with and one without the apple cider vinegar. For me, the
sans-vinegar was the winner. Both went right down the chute though; and then
I rested without coughing. Thanks again this was a fun diversion.

Highly recommend this recipe! I used Goslings dark rum, hot water and I
definitely encourage adding the apple cider vinegar for a savvy, flavorful touch.
Tonight I’ll make it with Woodford Reserve Bourbon. Thank you!

I had my doubts but this is amazing! I made mine with plain hot black tea,
honey, lemon juice, the recommended apple cider vinegar, and gosling’s black
seal rum. Very flavorful and warming, perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Made these last night with Decaf Constant Comment tea, fresh lemon juice,
local honey, the apple cider vinegar, and dark rum. I made most with 1 oz of
rum and mine with a 1/3 of an oz – both were so, so yummy. Thumbs up from
even the doubters (husband doesn’t like lemon typically) . The tea has some
extra spices in it, which I think addedRECIPE

I’m definitely going to make myself one of these tonight, and I do have apple
cider vinegar on hand. I have a cold with sore throat. This sounds like it will be
so soothing!

Thank you for this recipe! I made ours with chamomile tea, whisky, lemon, and
honey. I did my husbands without apple cider vinegar and mine with just a little
bit of it. And I have to say, wow the apple cider vinegar, even a little, was
better! It really brought out all the flavors! So cozy on a chilly fall night and
soothing with the sniffles!
