I need a really good hot toddy recipe?!
Answers: Not one with any kind of mint though. It will be for sipping at an outdoor fall party. It is hard to choose one when you are not really sure what they taste like. It needs to be so good. :) Thanks in advance
I'm a hot Todd T.
Why not heat some apple cider with a few cloves, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg, then add a mixture of spiced rum and apple brandy. Some cranberry juice in there is good as well.
Good Morning,
This one rocks. Great after a day of powder snow skiing.

I got this from the net years ago, posted by Brian Reid. I make this every year, and it is *wonderful*.... : HOT RUM TODDY -- ultimate hot buttered rum recipe I started making hot buttered rum from a Trader Vic recipe 15 years ago, and I have gradually evolved it by adding more spices, more butter, and less rum. The way you make a hot buttered rum is to add some "batter" to some rum, and heat it. I like to keep a made-up batch of the batter in the fridge in an old tub. For parties I make up a fresh batch. MAKING THE BATTER: 1. Put all batter ingredients (everything but the rum) in a food processor and run it until the stuff turns creamy. Fold it down once with a rubber spatula to make sure the spices are blended in, and run the food processor some more. 2. Scoop the mixture into a leftover container, and refrigerate. It will keep for many months in the refrigerator, even though it contains butter. MAKING THE DRINKS: 1. Fill a coffee mug half-full of boiling water. The easiest way to do this is to put a mug of hot water in the microwave. If you don't have a microwave, then fill the mug with boiling water, pour it out, then fill it half-full of boiling water. 2. Add 2 generous tablespoons of batter. Stir until the batter dissolves in the hot water. I use a small wire whisk for this stirring. 3. Add 2 jiggers of the best rum you can afford. When I make this in quantities for parties I like to use Myers Dark Rum. One theory of hot-toddy making is that it is impossible to use too much batter, and you should keep stirring more in until you are bored with stirring. Another theory of hot-toddy making is that it is impossible to use too much rum, and that you should keep stirring in more until your friends panic
Just make a cup of tea, add sugar or anything else as you like, then some bourbon or brandy. If you don't like mint, avoid minty tea, but a good spicy tea will work just fine.
Since you're going to be sipping it all night, you may want to consider using coffee with Grande Marnier, Kahlua or Baileys. It tastes good and will warm you up.
