goodbye/fun facts....hot toddy day...The word “toddy” reaches back to the British colonial era and is taken from the Hindi word tārī, a drink made from the fermented sap of the toddy palm, which is a tree native to India. The mixture, which traditionally consists of a spirit, sugar, water, and spices and was normally served cold. Although this may be where the drink first got its name, today’s version of the drink hardly resembles its namesake at all. Obviously, the drink has morphed significantly over time. The modern hot toddies that this day recognizes may have found their roots in 18th century Scotland. At this point, the drink was made hot by the Scots with the intention of helping to cure the common cold or other ailments. Today, a traditional hot toddy will contain a shot of alcohol (often whiskey, but it could also be brandy or rum), as well as a blend of honey, lemon, water and cinnamon.
