My grandmother use to give us girls hot toddys

back in the day if we had a cough and sore throat

here is how she made hers:

whiskey (any kind)
honey
lemon

warm it up and it slides right down and kills everything in its path!!

Max-are you sure your southern? I thought all Texans knew how to make hot toddys????

"Hot Toddy" sounds a bit gay to me so I'm ok not knowing what they are.

What you described sounds like what we had at our house except my mom didn't call them Hot Toddys. She called it breakfast.
