Notes

  • If you prefer Scotch you can switch out the whiskey for Scotch in a Hot Toddy.
  • Sometimes you might enjoy it without the whiskey and that's ok! If you take out the whiskey you still have a pretty soothing drink! This makes it child friendly to so if your kid has a sore throat this is a great option.
  • If you prefer more or less honey or lemon adjust it to your taste buds.
