It's nothing more than a simple mixture of hot water, some kind of spirit and some sugars. Some folks, like myself, add in a lemon twist and a dash or two of bitters. If you're using the right spirit, it can be absolute heaven in a glass. So, allow me to humbly submit what I believe to be the perfect, absolute best, hot toddy. Hot Toddy 2 oz. -or- 60 ml. Whisk(e)y (I'm using Monkey Shoulder) .5 oz. -or- 15 ml. Simple Syrup 2 dashes Angostura Bitters 4 oz. -or- 120 ml. near boiling water Garnish with a lemon twist I promise you'll enjoy this drink.
