The Hot Toddy is a cocktail unlike any other, and is as much a pleasant delight as it is the perfect remedy for a cold night, or even when you’re under the weather. Sure many would scoff at the idea of a cocktail that involves hot water and being served in a teacup, but if you have ever had the chance to savour the Hot Toddy, you will know what we’re talking about. Traditionally prepared with Irish whiskey, the Hot Toddy is a classic example of a drink that isn’t held back by the choice of whisky you opt for. It is universally well-known to be a typical Irish favourite although for something that involves cinnamon and nutmeg, it is perfectly suited to the Indian palette, something it shares in common with the Blenders Pride Reserve Collection. This terrific Indian whisky brand is the right choice for a quick whisky cocktail fix to rid yourselves of that a nasty cold, or perhaps simply as a nightcap on a rainy night as you nestle within a mountain of bedsheets. That is indeed what could describe the feeling of sipping on a comforting Indian Hot Toddy mixed with the devilishly smooth Blenders Pride Reserve Collection.
