The Best Comforting Drinks for Fall from Around the World

Hot Toddy
A hot toddy is a brilliant invention that combines warming spices, lemon, tea, and honey with a bracing slug of whiskey. Although the origin is murky at best, it’s thought to be based on an Indian drink made with toddy palm, but the inclusion of whiskey didn’t happen until the drink made its way to the United Kingdom. Now, it’s a traditional beverage that’s often enjoyed on a cold or rainy day, or when someone feels a cold coming on — the lemon and honey are soothing to a sore throat, the spices like nutmeg and cinnamon are warming to the body, and the alcohol provides a comforting numbing and uplifting sensation.
