Hot Toddy FAQs

How much whiskey is in a Hot Toddy?

The perfect measure of Jameson Irish Whiskey in a Hot Toddy is 50ml.

What whiskey is best for a Hot Toddy?

The Jameson Hot Toddy is a classic for a reason, Jameson Irish Whiskey’s smooth flavour pairs well with the ingredients in a Hot Toddy, creating a warming and soothing drink. The rich notes of vanilla paired with its hints of sweet sherry complement the sweetness of the tea syrup used in a Hot Toddy, which you can see in this recipe here.  

How to Make a Hot Toddy for a Cold?

While this Jameson Hot Toddy recipe should really help you dull the aches from a cold, we’d recommend adding a bit of honey to the mix or swapping it in for the Spiced Tea Syrup you see in our recipe to sweeten up the drink and offer something a bit more comforting.   

Hot Toddy for a Cough ?

Whether it’s a cold or a cough, we think that a drop of honey should do the trick here. While our recommended Jameson Hot Toddy recipe should help soothe a cough, swapping out the Spiced Tea Syrup for some honey will not only sweeten up the drink but also offer something a bit more comforting.   

Where can I get Hot Toddy Glasses?

Now that’s a great question, because we do believe that the glass can sometimes make the drink. That’s why we designed our very own Hot Toddy glasses that you can purchase right here.
