I've been drinking this stuff I make and its so good I thought I should share it with all you lovely phatmassers.

1. Fresh peppermint leaves
2. Boiling water (or at least really hot)
3. A tablespoon or two of honey
4. A generous shot of whiskey (Bushmills black label is the best, but any will do I suppose)

That's it. I've got the exact amounts down to perfection so I know how to make it as good as is possible. Try it the way you like it though.

God bless.

Change your peppermint leaves to a squeeze of lemon and you've got the cure for a cold.....

It's a 'hot toddy'!

Brandy can also be substituted for whiskey if you're so inclined...

[Lil Red]

This is my version of a hot toddy. I've had them the way you describe and I think I've improved it. I don't expect to convince everyone, and you have to try it to believe it.

Oh man... a hot toddy sounds so good right now... why, oh why is this still a dry household!!!???

Off to make a cup of hot tea...

[Ash Wednesday]

Nummers.

You know what I really love if it's a hot drink -- those buttered rums during the holidays. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Ah, the flip side to those of us feeling "old" around here... being over 21. :nanny:

[Iacobus]

If only I was 21. And if only I was inclinced to drink at all.

Laudate,

Change the hot water to ice, and the honey to sugar and you've got a mint julip! Walker Percy published his favorite recipe in "Lost in the Cosmos". Ah, good liquour and great southern catholic authors.

I like a hot toddy in the winter right before bed. I usually use a cinnamon stick instead of mint leaves, and drink it quick so I go right to sleep.

peace...

[nikkan_hanil]

Anyone here like sac-sac juice?

[Kilroy the Ninja]

sounds like a good drink for the winter.... right now I'm partial to mojitos... yummy

[Guest T-Bone]

Bah!

The only thing to drink, when one can't get ahold of Glenfidditch, is "Irish Lemonade."

Bushmills on the rocks, with a twist.

[Laudate_Dominum]

sweet.

[Sojourner]

I've been drinking iced peppermint tea a lot this summer, but I've not added any whiskey to it. I'll have to try that out. Yum.

How about Nyquil... would that work?

[mmmerf]

Hmm. Myself, I'm partial to gin, tonic, ice, lime wedge, cricket whites and a rollicking round of croquet. Eh, what what?

[franciscanheart]

[theculturewarrior]

You know what drink I like? It's called a "wild turkey." Take a lowball glass and fill it with ice. Add Wild Turkey.

[Noel's angel]

Anyone here like Irn Bru?????

[Guest T-Bone]

Fill a highball glass with watermelon juice, add one or two shots of Tequila, squeeze a lime wedge, enjoy.
