Originally hailing from Scotland, the Hot Toddy is a classic drink, which is perfect for a cold winter day. The lemon juice and honey add a sweet flavor to the Scotch, and the hot water makes this a cozy option in cold weather. This drink is perfect for apres ski or evening escapes from the winter blues.
