Can you please let me know how you make a hot toddy? It seems recipes vary.

I'm a big fan of hot toddies. Or whiskey and green ginger wine. I like Jamieson's despite being a Scot

I have been floored by Norovirus, eleven days of hell. DH dosed himself with some very expensive hot toddies. He was cured in two days! wink

A very lively and active 92 year old we met on a cruise told us her secret was porridge, cocoa, nuts and a nightly whisky.

Scotch - is whisky without an “E”
Whiskey is Irish.

My old mum's cure-all was a tot of Brandy, purely medicinal of course.

Highland Park ‘Viking Honour’ - it’ll cure anything!

I expect taking Benylin regularly would do you more harm, anyway.

My friend was a social worker. Most of the people in her allotted area had the same doctor. Apparently whatever condition his patients had, his advice was always to put a drop of whisky in your tea at night.

Enjoy the adjustment. Here at Jean Towers, we usually have a bottle of Macallan in a decanter, just in case.

It is Irish Whiskey and Scotch Whisky........easy to remember by there being and E in Ireland but not in Scotland

I'm confused. Is it Whiskey when it's Irish and Whisky when it's Scotch or is it the other way round?

My grandad had a tot of Whisky every night. He was 100 when he passed away, didn't do him any harm.

I have been floored with a really nasty cold, sore throat and headaches.

I found Benylin was giving me awful dreams so my lovely husband has been making us hot toddies at bedtime.

We’re using Booths hot toddy pouchettes,a very wonderful Spanish honey, hot water and some probably very expensive Scotch Whiskey.

It’s just delicious and I’m sleeping very well.

For someone who never drinks spirits I have adjusted very well!

I am having just one more this evening then that’s it……….or maybe it could prevent a return😉.
