Though a traditional hot toddy primarily consists of whiskey, hot water, lemon and honey, the term “toddy” has come to encompass a variety of hot drinks made with booze and a tea or tea-like base. And while tea is a fantastic way to warm up, it also acts as a stellar cocktail ingredient, whether with alcoholic or not.
This “cold toddy” combination follows a simple rubric for a sour cocktail—spirits, lemon/lime and sugar—but also features a tea syrup that’s easy to make and store. The combination will come out akin to a boozy Arnold Palmer, or a simple whiskey sour variation with equal parts tea and lemon flavors.
