My rum hot toddy, or caribbean nyquil: 1 oz Jamaican Rum 1 oz Barbados Rum .5 oz falernum .5 oz angostura bitters .25 oz cinnamon syrup .25 oz honey syrup 4 oz hot water
@@ChristopherOdegard 15ml of bitters. Only about 15 dashes out of the bottle. Really balances out the sweetness while doubling down on the spiciness of the falernum & cinnamon. But then again, i reaaaly love ango bitters. One of my favorite cocktails is the angolada
When I make this, I also sprinkle it with cinnamon and stir that in. It mixes with the heat and the honey and everything and just enhances the experience of drinking it. Trust me, try it with cinnamon!!
I have a head cold and so I decided to have this. Used a local raw honey and Blantons. Also put some cloves in my lemon and plopped it right in. Just perfect.
Could that palm tree sap drink be a variation of arrack (or arak) perhaps? Although made from coconut flower sap. Coconuts come from palm trees. Could be a link there. 🤷🏼♂️
I got a recipe for you , Leandro Its some kind of variation of Tommy's margarita 1 oz tequila(100 agave, i do it with patron silver) 1/4 oz gin(or 1/5th), 2/3rds oz of agave syrup(maybe less if less water is added) 1/4 oz of squeezed lemon(or less) 1/2 oz of water(or less) Dash of Bitters(i use homemade, angostura would also work) , but entirely optional Stir(a lot) and add 3 ice cubes. Me and my friend love it. Its an incredibly smooth drink.
@@TheEducatedBarfly Tommy's was with lime if i recall . I dont find that much of a difference in taste between the two, only in smell (because its a very small amount in question so it doesnt matter that much) , and in price(lime is more expensive here). On top of that, its not as fresh as lemon. You could try it with lime instead(true to the original recipe), but i cannot guarantee the result since ive not attempted it.
I’ve made Hot Toddy’s for years as a home cold remedy. I use 1oz raw honey, squeezed lemon wedge, 1-2oz of Jameson and 4-6 oz of hot tea of choice. So good.
Anyone who has spent any time in Scotland in the fall, winter (for sure) or early spring in Scotland will believe they invented the Hot Toddy. My vote is for that origin story. And definitely with a Highland or Speyside Scotch. I love Monkey Shoulder. Your simple recipe is great. A grating of fresh ginger into the hot mug before making the drink is a nice, though.
In Ireland a Hot Toddy or Hot Whiskey is just Irish whiskey, brown sugar or honey, and a lemon wedge with cloves stuck in the segments. It's a classic winter drink here!
That's literally what my family makes when anyone feels they might be getting a sore throat. Only thing is that we substitute the bourbon with white rum.
I do the same, except I simmer the water for a bit with black pepper, cayenne and ginger in it, then strain before mixing with the honey, lemon and rum. Instant sore throat relief, decongestant/cold cure, plus great flavour.
@@seanwilson1922 A very fair point, lol. Definitely moves some way away from the original concept. If it sounds good to you, I recommend giving it a try - tastes good even if you don't have a cold to try to cure ;) Similar in flavour to a strong Ginger Wine, but still gives you identifiable tastes from the honey, lemon and rum.
I do enjoy my cocktails, and I do enjoy this channel. Today, I made myself a Hot Toddy and figured I would check your channel to see how you make yours :-)
Hey there, first if all I treated myself to a mug of this yesterday and it's a really pleasant drink. I have one little suggestion thogh. Would you mind telling us the volume of the glas you are using? You could write that down in the end just to give some perspective. :)
Also what could happen if you add a hot drink to a cold glass (only if the temp is roughly -5°C) is called thermal shock. This is only if you are using an untempered glassware and the temp range is huge.
I was able to find a drink called "taadi" from northern India. It's a palm wine made from fermenting the sap from a coconut palm tree. It's also called a "toddy" in Malaysia. That said, I can't really see how it's related to what we know as a "hot toddy" nowadays.
It's funny you say you don't like to garnish with a lemon because instinct is to add it in, I actually prefer tart our sour over sweet so if I was given a perfectly balanced drink id put the lemon right in it to give me that acidic flavour
@@TheEducatedBarfly thank you so much! I found a website that recommended 1:1, and I should've trusted my gut by thinking that the honey flavor would be next to nothing.
The Scots are British! The British are Scots, Northern Irish, Welsh and English. They voted about staying British just a few years ago and the remainers won (which is strange for British people).
Scotland is still part of the *United* Kingdom, and the Scots were highly complicit in the colonization of my land and people. In any case, I’ve always been weirded out by the words hot toddy, because I know of a (Goan, I believe) alcohol called Toddy Fenny, and I don’t think it’s drunk hot. It might be Portuguese in origin though.
Being married into Portugal and knowing what the Portuguese like to drink, I can say I've never heard of a Toddy anything in Portugal. What is a Toddy Fenny really though? It may have a different name in Portugal?
Toddy comes from the Duchess of Totenham who was affectionately known as Toddy. She was famous for promanading around London in hot pink hot pants, whence comes the name "Hot Toddy"
More like... Eddin burra. Short E and I, slightly roll the r. Sorry for being that guy but thought you might want to avoid the comments in the future should it arise.
I made a hot Jaegertody, yum. Then a Jaegerita, yum. Can you use Scotch? Moonshine (unaged whiskey)? I'm glad we don't use palm tree sap anymore. Wouldn't maple tree sap, syrup be good? Everyone drank together and that encourages cooperation and civility in those so inclined...... it's covid19 and I am drinking alone by executive order. You just said you can use Scotch so I will try it I have Poitin, maybe I will try that as I hide from politics.......and viruses.....
My rum hot toddy, or caribbean nyquil:
1 oz Jamaican Rum
1 oz Barbados Rum
.5 oz falernum
.5 oz angostura bitters
.25 oz cinnamon syrup
.25 oz honey syrup
4 oz hot water
Sounds great! Caribbean NyQuil LOL
Is that a half-ounce (15ml) of Angostura aromatic bitters, or a half-ounce of Amaro di Angostura?
@@ChristopherOdegard 15ml of bitters. Only about 15 dashes out of the bottle. Really balances out the sweetness while doubling down on the spiciness of the falernum & cinnamon.

Isn’t a rum hot toddy called a grog? Love the stuff, but I thought the difference between a toddy and a grog was the base spirit.

That’s gotta be one of the oddest ways of pronouncing Edinburgh that I’ve ever heard.
Eh-din-burro is how I thought it was pronounced.
Oh yeah. Me too! Strictly outlandish.

cactuS Mann no I’ll do it your way lime has a much different flavor to lemon
@@TheEducatedBarfly Thanks. Appreciate it.
I make mine with hot black tea instead of water. You probably don't want to try it just before bedtime...

" Hot daddy "
Wtf brain....

Thanks man.
Thanks for keeping up with the metric measurements in the videos and description! ❤️👌
Here for the Edinburgh comments.
LOL
@@TheEducatedBarfly don't get me wrong though, love your videos guys. Definitely going to give this one a try.
The Armourer's Bench all good. I’m used to my pronunciation getting railed on LOL
These are great to drink when suffering from a head cold!

Coming out of a four day runny nose and aches. Already had this one on the menu for Friday night fireplace healing.
If it were done with scotch would it be better to use an islay scotch? More aggressive whiskey that won't get buried by the ingredients?

Liam Farrell no hot water?
@@fadnama Definitely hot water. How could I forget that
Love hot toddy with crown royal and mint, lemon, and black tea
I love mine with Cognac
I'm going to try one with jaegermeister.....
It’s 3 in the morning what the hell am I doing
Taadi is also known as palm wine, and is served chilled or at room temperature.
Video actually starts at 4:15
Maybe my glass is too big. Are you sure its only 2oz of hot water lol. Love this drink.
I could use one of these right about now. I feel a sore throat coming on!
I only know about the Hot Toddy because of Buck Strickland in King of the Hill lol. Buck has good taste.

I make virgin hot toddy’s all the time! They’re the perfect thing to warm up a cold body
I like this one with two or three times the amount of water
i make a thermos full of hot toddys when i go fishing in the pacific ocean. keeps me warm.
You pronounced Edinburgh so wrong its hilarious!
It’s a staple on this channel LOL
@@TheEducatedBarfly I mean you forget stuff and you pronounce things wrong. These are your gimmicks, as well as making classic cocktails.
I for one appreciate your "original" take on pronunciation. Just the other day I was planning a trip to Sane Franchesco
love the recipe, but I prefer adding green or black tea instead of just hot water.
Also what could happen if you add a hot drink to a cold glass (only if the temp is roughly -5°C) is called thermal shock. This is only if you are using an untempered glassware and the temp range is huge.
Right. Always use tempered glass regardless
The cure all. I've always made my with tea. Is that more of a modern take?
love to see tutorials on very classic drinks! barely drink hot toddies, as it never gets cold where I live, but it's always fun to make!💞
Ayyy I've been treating my cold with hot toddy for a few previous consecutive nights
A hot toddy with Lagavulin 8 (not 16) is incredible.
The way you say Edinburgh is so funny, it's pronounced eh-din-bruh 😁
I was able to find a drink called "taadi" from northern India. It's a palm wine made from fermenting the sap from a coconut palm tree. It's also called a "toddy" in Malaysia. That said, I can't really see how it's related to what we know as a "hot toddy" nowadays.
Wondering how this would taste with a bit of allspice dram.
Like a dream 😂 but don’t overdo it
@@TheEducatedBarfly yeah I was thinking like a quarter ounce
Cocktails with Zacapa Rum please!
Is it an Aged Rum?
I didn't realize this was a new video. I'm like "how does this have so few views?!"
I don't like to see them argue :(
Damn, that's hot.
It's funny you say you don't like to garnish with a lemon because instinct is to add it in, I actually prefer tart our sour over sweet so if I was given a perfectly balanced drink id put the lemon right in it to give me that acidic flavour
What's the ratio you'd recommend on your honey syrup?
3:1 by volume. Honey seizes up when it hits ice so watering it down is necessary for mixing but the point is to keep it mostly honey.
@@TheEducatedBarfly thank you so much! I found a website that recommended 1:1, and I should've trusted my gut by thinking that the honey flavor would be next to nothing.
Ah, my usual night cap. Though this is the correct recipe, I prefer to use ginger syrup instead of the honey.
I just use a mix of Honey and Ginger liqueurs.
Even plain sugar will work well

Toddy comes from the Duchess of Totenham who was affectionately known as Toddy. She was famous for promanading around London in hot pink hot pants, whence comes the name "Hot Toddy"
And this is totally true and not made up
Hmm
Interesting. I’ll have to look into it. But how then does this story relate to the drink?
@@TheEducatedBarfly Drink? Oh yes.
The Duchess _really_ liked Hot Toddys.
Is it just me or I’m 4 minutes into this and I’m thinking........ 🤫 and make the bloody drink
Nah... I'm here for the history and the banter.
The mechanics of making the cocktail itself is pretty straightforward, once you've seen enough.
Ah. I see you're new here
I love the Story part its very nice to have some knowledge to tell your quests while serving a drink. If you don't like it, just skip it.
