The Hot Toddy, a winter favorite, is known for its ability to soothe throats and spirits. Made with whisky, hot water, and lemon, it’s often called the alcoholic version of chicken soup. But did you know its origins trace back to India?
The drink’s history is debated, with some claiming it started as a fermented palm sap beverage in 17th-century India. British colonizers mixed it with beer to stretch supplies. By the 18th century, it evolved into the warm, spirit-filled drink we know today.
In India, rum often replaces whisky, adding a local twist to this classic cocktail. With Hot Toddy Day on January 11, it’s the perfect time to try some made-in-India rums with this warming drink.
