The Jameson Hot Toddy Recipe

Hot Toddies are a night changer. They’re endlessly customizable, warming, and the first sip can take you from being in a state of sickness to feeling like a human again. When it comes to preparing your own, there’s one standout brand that can turn a Hot Toddy into something extra special: Jameson Irish Whiskey.

You’re probably most familiar with hot Jameson drinks from Irish Coffees. Windswept Ireland is no stranger to needing a stiff, warm drink, but coffee isn’t always the best choice. That’s where the Hot Toddy comes in — after all, if the legends are to be believed, it was an Irish doctor named Robert Bentley Todd who invented the Hot Toddy.
