Recall that Hot Toddy is a warming drink, the recipe of which includes hot water, sugar and Scotch whiskey. But the classic recipe for Toddy was so good that they decided to diversify it a little, replacing everything and everything. So hot Toddy with bourbon was born, and a drink, the recipe of which you will get acquainted with below.
In general, Toddy can be safely called a whole subsection of warming cocktails, by analogy with mulled wines, grogs and other warm drinks, the recipes of which are innumerable. Everything is very simple – absolutely all the ingredients can be questioned and replaced. Water can be safely replaced with juices, tea, compote and everything that is suitable for a “warm” base.
Sugar, of course, it is advisable to replace honey. Alcohol – any that comes to hand, but it is desirable that it be a strong copy, a high-quality copy. Well, offhand, you can add any spice from those that warm, for example, from spices for mulled wine.
