Sipping it right now... aah. I always default to toddy = booze + lemony honeyed tea. Nice to have another option.
looks fab! love the flavors of dried cherries & lime!
I have the absolute worst cold, with good friends coming for a 'festive' New Year's Eve dinner, no less. As I have created my menu around The Essential New York Times Cook Book recipes, I decided to go one further and look for some medicinal encouragement within food52. You gals never disappoint!
I vote for this incredible libation/elixir/yummy drink!
Cheers....
Now this drink should come with a crackling fire and 1 foot of snowfall.
Yes its relay delicious and great idea
This week I've learned I'm a dark spirit girl...Bourbon has become my friend; rye with cherries and lime zest sounds divine. May have to take a bourbon break and toast 2011 with this (and bubbles too, of course). Thanks for a great recipe!
I really like the combination of dried cherries and lime zest.
Sounds perfect! A classic with a twist - my kind of toddy. You've got my vote!
It's 10 in the morning but I want one of these - that kind of day. LOVE the cherries!
I'm having this with 8 cherries. It's essentially my lunch. Is that wrong?
You had me at rye.
Cherries and lime together sound divine. Thanks for this recipe.
Sounds yummy. I like the simplicity of this! Thanks for the recipe, Amanda.

There's nothing to this toddy: just rye whiskey, lime, raw sugar, and dried cherries.

For each toddy, peel a single strip of zest from a lime.
