Hot Toddy
The word toddy, from the Hindu tári tádi, originally meant a drink of fermented sap or coconut milk. The British picked up the idea in the 19th century, though their toddies, usually made from scotch, were typically consumed for medicinal purposes. Today other dark spirits as well as scotch are used-such as rum, bourbon, or Irish or Canadian whiskey-as the base for this classic hot cocktail. For a modern twist, use hard cider or apple brandy for a lovely, baked apple pie flavour.
