Warm, toasty, and just in time for winter, the hot toddy is a classic hot cocktail that is very simple to make. The basic recipe requires only a base liquor, honey, lemon, and tea. This formula has inspired a number of toddy recipes and is ideal for experimentation so you can start creating your own personal toddy.

Brandy, rum, and whiskey all make an excellent hot toddy. Which you choose will be a matter of personal taste or whatever you have on hand. You can also customize the flavor of tea, switch out the fruit, or sweeten it with whatever you like. However you choose to make your toddy, it can quickly become a new cold-weather favorite.
