A hot toddy is perfect for a cold night, especially when you’re feeling under the weather. This warm cocktail is my go-to remedy for a nasty cough and a classic cold. It’s easy to make, much tastier than cough syrup, and once you learn how to make it, you’ll find relief in no time!
Why I Love Hot Toddies
If you’ve ever wondered how to make a hot toddy, it’s incredibly simple! This drink is perfect for soothing a sore throat or cough. During cold and flu season, I often get hit with a bad head cold, and when I have the choice between grape-flavored cough syrup and a comforting Hot Toddy, the choice is obvious!
While kids might enjoy something like Dimetapp, adults can benefit from the soothing effects of whiskey. This drink is comforting, delicious, and easy to prepare. While it’s not a cure, it definitely helps alleviate symptoms and is perfect for cold, rainy nights—even if you’re not sick!
This Hot Toddy Recipe is just what the doctor ordered for those of us over the age of 21—aren’t we fortunate?
Is a Hot Toddy a Good Remedy?
Absolutely! It’s one of the best remedies I know of. The warmth of the drink can soothe your throat and cough, and whiskey acts as a decongestant, helping relieve headaches. This recipe has become a staple in my house during cold and flu season, especially with a baby in daycare.
When I’m feeling sick, the only sounds in our home are “bless you” and “leave me alone.” After a tough cold season, this drink has helped me feel better! Once my little one is in bed, it’s my turn to relax with a warm Hot Toddy and a bowl of soup.
