Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the hot toddy will be. Use fresh lemon juice and honey, and choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking neat.
- Don't overboil the water: Boiling the water will drive off the alcohol and flavor compounds in the whiskey. Instead, heat the water until it is just below boiling (about 195 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Add the honey and lemon juice last: Adding the honey and lemon juice to the hot water will help to preserve their flavor. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or cinnamon stick: This will add a touch of extra flavor and aroma to the hot toddy.
- Serve immediately: Hot toddies are best enjoyed hot, so serve them immediately after making.
