Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions

Cocktail Codex treats the Hot Toddy as essentially a hot, lengthened Old-Fashioned — explaining that the 4:2 water-to-spirit ratio is necessary because heat amplifies the perception of alcohol, and that the lemon juice isn't there for acidity but acts as seasoning to bring the diluted, warmed ingredients into harmony, much like salt in cooking.
