With snow on the ground, the Academy Awards approaching, and parties being planned, preparing hot toddies for your get-together will be a welcome, relaxing bonus to the highly anticipated evening.
Scots named it for a specific type of palm tree juice, but today, the Toddy is more commonly a mix of brandy, hot water, lemon, cinnamon, and sugar. Variations abound; substitutions like whiskey for brandy, tea for hot water, and honey for sugar still put the warming elixir under the same category.
The concoction is ideal for cold nights, after a long day’s work, or for fighting off a cold. And, as you settle in with friends and family to watch the awards, sipping your Hot Toddy will keep you warm as the stars heat up the red carpet.
