I can't stop drinking these.

I've had a nasty, dribbly, leaky, wracking hellhole of a cold for a week. Granted, I was drinking for seven days straight while I was on vacation BUT that is no excuse for my body to treat me so horribly. So to cure myself, I've been drinking even more whiskey. To be precise, I've been drinking hot toddies. To quote Wikipedia:

Hot toddy is a name given to a mixed drink that is served hot, believed to have originated in Scotland. Although there are many variations, essential ingredients are:

1. a hot beverage--which may be tea, coffee, cocoa, or water, etc.
2. an alcoholic spirit such as brandy, rum, Scotch whisky or Irish whiskey.

3. usually a sweetener, such as honey, sugar or syrup.
Other ingredients that are often added:
4. spices, usually "brown" spices such as cinnamon or cloves.
5. citrus, such as lemon or orange.

Lemonade can be used instead of hot water and citrus; this is a modern variant.
6. a little butter.

Butter and whiskey...God Bless America.
