It’s cold and flu season! I get a killer head cold EVERY SINGLE WINTER. If I have to choose between drinking a cap-full of grape flavored cough syrup or drinking this Cold Remedy Hot Toddy, I think you know what I’m choosing.

Yes, Dimetapp seemed to taste pretty good as a kid, but this warm cocktail is the cure for a cold in the over 21 crowd.

A cold remedy hot toddy, with a mix of whiskey, hot water, honey, ginger and lemon juice, is just what the doctor ordered for all of us over the age of 21.

It’s soothing, delicious, and super easy. I don’t recommend it as an actual cure, but it sure does seem to help. The best way to get better is with a COLD REMEDY HOT TODDY!

Sometimes when I feel so sick and disgusting and lazy, and the only words being exchanged at our house are “bless you” and “leave me alone”,

This is the only drink that gets me through. This and a nice bowl of soup. You understand.

I’m no doctor, and I definitely don’t claim that this will take the place of real medicine, BUT I do think a cold remedy hot toddy will make you feel better.

Or at least make you think you feel better. Being sick is no excuse for not enjoying yourself! In fact, this is a comforting cocktail whether or not you’re stricken with the winter cold and flu blues. We don’t discriminate.

  10. I am not much of a cook either but I do have a nasty head and chest cold. I have Ginger powder and used some in my toddy. Could you tell me what crystalized Ginger is? I am more a wine drinker so this is not as tasty as I would like but I wonder if the crystalized Ginger would make it taste better. Thanks.

    • It's a dried ginger that has been crystalized, it can be found in the spice aisle just like the ginger powder. It has kind of a zippy taste and works really well in cocktails. Hope this drink helps your cold!
