Hot Toddy
Ingredients
Method

Need something to keep the chills away during the colder months? The Hot Toddy is a long-established winter warmer, made with a blend of whisky, tart lemon, sweet honey and hot water to create a relaxing harmony of flavours. The bright, zesty flavour of lemon complements the rich, smoky warmth of the whisky, while the honey adds a soothing sweetness that mellows the acidity. The combination of warmth and bold flavours warms the body, so it's a great drink for cold nights.

You can make the Hot Toddy especially indulgent by using a high-quality whisky like Johnnie Walker Black Label. Its smoky, peaty character and notes of vanilla and dried fruit can give Hot Toddy a deeper, more robust flavour. The smokiness pairs beautifully with the warmth of the drink, while the sweetness of the honey helps to balance the more complex whisky notes. The whisky's long, fruity finish with notes of water fuchsia blossom and candied fruit peel enhance the cosy experience, making it an ideal choice for those looking for warmth in the winter months.
