Can Hot Toddies Really Cure Colds? While Hot Toddies have been used for generations as a natural way to combat cold symptoms, there is no definite research to prove that they can replace that bottle of cold medicine once and for all. They do, however, certainly provide comfort.

Drinking Bourbon Neat

It allows you to experience the whiskey's full aroma, texture, and taste nuances. To fully enjoy bourbon neat, pour about two ounces into a tulip-shaped glass. Swirl gently to release the aromas, take a small sip, and let it linger on your palate before swallowing.

The hot toddy is not one of those drinks that you down simply to get drunk. It is more of an experience and a way to relax, so its alcohol content may be irrelevant for the most part. However, for the curious drinker, you can expect it to weigh in around 6 percent ABV (12 proof).

Best consumed in small doses and infrequently, Hot Toddies can only be served as as medicine to those 21 and over, should not replace a medical professional's advice, and are best followed by a tall glass of water, some herbal tea, and plenty of rest and TLC.

Is a Hot Toddy Good for a Cough? Yes. The alcohol can help clear mucus by dilating blood vessels in the upper body. The steam from the hot water might also help to clear congestion.

Adding spices, such as ginger, to a hot toddy may also have benefits. There is, however, no evidence to suggest that alcohol can help with the symptoms. Doctors often recommend that people avoid drinking alcohol when they have a cold or flu.

Hot toddies are reported to help reduce cold symptoms, although you really don't want to overdo it on the whiskey. Your body needs to heal, and the simple combination of warm water, honey and lemon combined can work wonders. Alcohol doesn't mix well with over-the-counter and prescription medications.

As long as you drink in moderation, it can have some health benefits. A moderate amount of bourbon consumption is one to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. In addition to a balanced diet and moderate exercise, bourbon can be a component of a healthy lifestyle when used in moderation.

What is the smoothest bourbon to drink straight? ›

Some bourbons recommended for sipping neat in 2023 are Woodford Reserve, Maker's Mark Whisky, Elijah Craig Small Batch, Legent Bourbon, and Eagle Rare. These bourbons are known for their smoothness and complex flavor profiles, making them enjoyable to sip straight without the need for any mixers or ice.

You should keep your bourbon at room temperature, which is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're going to drink it within a few days, you can place your container in the fridge. However, leaving bourbon in the cold for a long period of time can alter the flavors.

Irish Whiskey: Known for its smoothness and light sweetness, brands like Jameson and Bushmills blend well without overpowering the other ingredients. Bourbon: With its rich, vanilla, and caramel notes, bourbon like Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve adds depth and complements the honey and lemon in the toddy.

A BOURBON

Aged years longer than our original Jim Beam, Jim Beam Black has full bodied taste with smooth caramel and warm oak notes. It takes on a unique flavor that's made to be sipped and savored.

That's when we recommend the timeless combination of lemon, cinnamon, a little hot water, and a splash of Tennessee Whiskey. If you want an even easier version of this fairly simple recipe, just replace the Old No. 7 and honey with some Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey. Nothing to it.

To experience the full flavor of the Jim Beam bourbon, you may choose to drink it at room temperature without any ice cubes. Sipping on a bourbon neat is an excellent way to experience the perfect balance of rich full-bodied vanilla and subtle hints of oak complemented by deep caramel notes and an elegant finish.
