Why does hot toddy sound familiar?

Hot toddy is a traditional warm drink made with whisky or brandy, honey, lemon juice, and hot water. It is a popular remedy for colds and flu as the alcohol helps to open up the nasal passages and the honey and lemon provide soothing relief to the throat. The term "hot toddy" is thought to have originated in Scotland in the 18th century. The word "toddy" is believed to come from the Gaelic word "taighd," which means "hot drink." Another possible origin is from the Hindi word "tāri," a drink made from fermented palm sap.
