A traditional Scottish recipe for making a hot toddy with whisky.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 shot whisky (good quality)
  • 1 Tbsp honey (or 1-2 tsp of brown sugar)
  • 1 cup water (or fill your glass or cup as desired)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Boil the water.
  • Put the whisky into the glass.
  • Add the honey or brown sugar.
  • Pour in some of the boiled water and stir to melt the sweetener.
  • Add more water as desired. Drink hot.

Notes

  • For a proper Scottish hot toddy, use a crystal glass and silver spoon. Put the spoon inside the glass whilst pouring the hot water so the glass doesn't break.
  • Use good quality Scotch whisky.
  • Add lemon juice, a cinnamon stick, cloves, or use rum or brandy instead of whisky, for alternative toddies.
