DrinkBoy:

House Orange Bitters (HOB) is a name commonly used to refer to a blending of [[Regans' Orange Bitters #6]] and Fee's Orange Bitters in a 50/50 ratio. This formulation was first devised by [[Audrey Saunders]] for use at the [[Pegu Club]] in New York, when they were trying to work up specs for their various cocktails and were having a hard time finding an orange bitters that worked for them. Fee's bitters had been on the market for a while but were rather simplistic in flavor as well as deemed a little too sweet. Regan's had just recently come on to the market but seemed a little too heavy in cardamom. The solution they came up with at the [[Pegu Club]] was to simply mix the two together, which worked perfectly. Because of the brands used in this blending, it is also sometimes referred to as "Feegan's" orange bitters.

DrinkSheet is a free to download spreadsheet for Microsoft Excel that provides some useful calculations based on the recipes that you enter. It is being provided by the Chanticleer Society along with its author (Robert "DrinkBoy" Hess), to help not only cocktail enthusiasts, but also professional bars and bartenders. Hopefully you will find it useful.

[[File:DrinkSheet_Old_Fashioned.jpg|900px|center]]

==Overview==

The spreadsheet consists of several different sheets:
* Volumes: a sheet that provides details on the different "volume" measurements you can use.
* Products: a sheet that provides details on the "ingredients" that can be used in your recipes. This list can, and should, be expanded to reflect not only the ingredients you may want to use, but the details about those ingredients as well (specifically cost and abv).
* Recipe Template: A "template" recipe form that you copy to a new sheet in order to enter new recipes.
* ...plus several prepopulated recipes you can use for examples

===Recipe Entry===
You easily enter the specifics about your recipe using virtually any type of volumetric measurement you want. If a particular measurement unit isn't available, you can update the spreadsheet easily to use it.

===Costing===
Handy for commercial bartenders, the spreadsheet allows you to maintain a list of product costs, and if all of the products your recipe uses have been properly recorded, the costing pane will show you the cost of each ingredient, as well as the overall cost of the drink to make. You can also provide a target price, and it will tell you what the percentage of food cost is for the drink (most bars will typically use a 21% food cost which will allow the rest of the cost to account for labor, rent, etc.). You can also provide a target percentage food cost, and it will let you know what to charge for the drink.

===Scaling===
Handy for home mixologists, once a recipe has been entered, you can scale the recipe up (or down) to suit your needs. You can change the measurement units to any that will work best for you.

===Batching===
Handy for making the recipe in large batches, you can indicate how much you want to make (such as "4 gallons"), and the recipe will be properly scaled to that volume. It will tell you how many drinks you can make, as well as how much of the "mix" to use per drink. You can not only change the measurement units to anything you want (ie, instead of "ounces", you can use "cups"), but you can also provide a "secondary" measure. This means that instead of "14 5/8 cups", you can split it into "14 cups plus 5 ounces".

===ABV Calculator===
With more and more attention these days being paid to monitoring the amount of alcohol in a drink, as long as the ABV details for each ingredient have been properly provided, this pane will show you the overall "ABV %" for the drink, but more importantly it will show you the actual amount of pure alcohol the drink contains, as well as what the "DrinkRate" is. The DrinkRate provides an estimate for how many hours it will take the average individual to fully metabolize the alcohol in this drink.

===Recipe Details===
The final pane of the spreadsheet will provide an overview of the recipe. It includes the costing and abv information, as well as the originally provided recipe.

==Quick Start Guide==
===Create A New Recipe===
To start creating a new recipe, just do the following:

# Make a "copy" of the "Recipe Template" page.
## Right-click on the "Recipe Template" page.
## Select "Move or Copy..."
## From the list, select the page that followed the "Recipe Template" page.
## Select "Create a copy"
## Select "OK"
# Right click on the tab of the new page you created, and rename it to the name of your recipe.
# In the sheet itself, also enter the name of the recipe.
# If the recipe is designed to make more than one drink, change the "Makes 1 Drink" line to indicate that amount.
# Enter in the type of glassware this drink should use (optional)
# Enter in the garnish this drink should use (optional)
# In the first line in the "amount" column (Row A, Line 7) enter the first measurement "amount" (ie "2" for "2 ounces").
# In the first line in the "measure" column (Row B, Line 7) enter the measurement "unit" (ie "ounces" for "2 ounces).
# Now, in the first line under the "ingredient" column (Row E, Line 7) enter the name of the first ingredient (ie. "gin")
# Now, go down to Row A Line 8, and repeat for the next ingredient, and the next, etc.

Note:
* All cells of the recipe page that you are intended to enter details in are "white", the others are shades of gray
* Column C and D (as well as several others) are special columns, DO NOT enter any information in them

=== Red Arrows?===
[[File:DrinkSheet_Recipe_Error.jpg|right|200px]]
If you see a left-pointing red arrow next to a measurement unit, or a right-pointing red arrow next to an ingredient, this means that those values weren't found in the "Volumes" or "Products" sheets. The unit measure was probably a typo on your part, and you just need to enter the name slightly differently. A red arrow on the ingredient, probably means that particular ingredient hasn't yet been detailed in the "Products" page, we'll get to that later.

If the ingredient isn't found, it will only cause problems for the "costing" and "abv" part of the spreadsheet. If the measurement units is wrong, this will cause problems for most of the rest of the spreadsheet, so you will want to be sure to select from one of the measurements you will find listed on the "Volumes" sheet in order to fix this. If you have a particular measurement unit you would like to use that isn't there, we will get to that later too.

===Costing===
There typically isn't a lot to do in this pane. The only fields for you to alter, are the "If Sold At" and "Target %". If your cocktail menu typically has a standard price, you will want to set that as the price in the original "Recipe Template" sheet so that it always is the automatic value that comes up. We've set it to a default of $15 dollars, since that appears to be the direction many craft cocktail bars are heading these days. On individual recipes, you can change that value if you specifically want to sell this cocktail at a different price than your bars default price. This will then show you what the food-cost percentage is for this drink.

You can also change the "Target %" if you want to see what the cost of this drink should be for different food-cost percentages. And if your bar is operating at a different calculated food-cost percentage for its drink costs, you should also change that in the "Recipe Template" so all of your recipes will start from that point.

===Scaling===
This pane provides a quick way to scale a recipe up or down, or even simply change its measurement units.

If you are going to make the drink for 6 people instead of 1, it can be handy to use this to see the amounts in different measurement units. For example, instead of needing to use "6 tsp simple syrup" to make a recipe for 6 people, you can just set the "Serves" to 6, and then for the sugar line, change the measurement units to "oz" to see that this would use 1 ounce of syrup. Likewise, if you are entering a recipe listed in "ml", but you want to know what it would be in "ounces" (or vice versa), set the "Serves" to "1" and then change the measurement units to whatever you were wanting to use.

===Batching===
Similar to "Scaling" the "Batching" pane lets you change the recipe amounts in order to make a larger batch of drinks. The main difference here, is that Batching is providing a little more information, which is better for when you want to make the drink for a crowd.

You start off setting the "Batch Size" to something like "1 gallon". This will then show you how many drinks that you can make with this size of a batch. If that number is too high or low, just adjust your batch size until it gets you in the ballpark. You will also see how much of the batches liquid you need to measure out to make each drink. Remember, you will still need to shake/stir the drink with ice in order to both chill it, and dilute it properly. If you are wanting your drink to be pre-diluted (and you will be storing it chilled so it can just be poured out without any additional processing), you will need to add the estimated amount of water that will be added from shaking/stirring to the base recipe.

You will then see in the bottom part of this pane the recipe for the batch. Note that there are side-by-side areas for the measurements. This is so you can have a "big measure" amount (like cups), but instead of "fractional" cups, have the remainder flow over to a smaller measure (like ounces) to make it easier to use. If you leave the secondary measurement unit blank, it will put everything in the primary measurement unit.

===ABV Calculator===
There typically isn't much you will need to do in this pane. All you "can" do is change the measurement amounts being shown. If you always want to see these measures in something other then what is being shown now, you will want to update the "Recipe Template" page to reflect that.

Many people are focusing on showing the "ABV" percentage of the drinks they serve. And this pane will show you that. However, this isn't usually the best thing to use. If the drink has a high amount of "non-alcholic" ingredients in it, but the same amount of "alcoholic" ingredients as another drink, it will have a much lower ABV, but still have the same amount of alcohol. This is why knowing the actual alcohol in the drink is important. This pane will provide you with the amount of pure alcohol that the drink contains so you can better compare one drink to another. Even this number can be hard to understand however since it is just a number. For this reason, we've added a "DrinkRate" number, this number represents the number of hours that it will take the "average" person to process the alcohol in this drink.

===Recipe Details===
This final pane pulls together data from several of the other panes to attempt to show in a single place, the important details. You could copy/paste this data from here into a Word document (or whatever) in order to document this recipe and its details.

To help manage, identify, and cross-reference the various books that have been published "since the beginning of time" about cocktails, mixology, spirits, and the like, the following is an attempt to provide a fairly comprehensive list of books. The original source listing came from Martin Doudoroff and Ted Haigh, from the list they compiled for CocktailDB.

You can find a LOT of scanned cocktail/spirits books on the [https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/ EUVS Vintage Cocktail Book Library] as well. As time permits, I'll be adding books from that source here, with links back to the scanned in copies that they have online.

Other online sources for extensive cocktail bibliographies are:

* [https://guides.loc.gov/alcoholic-beverage-industry/general-resources Alcoholic Beverage Industry: General Resources] from Library of Congress Research Guides

I've chosen (at the moment) to list this in basically a "Bibliography" format:

Author, '''''Title''''', publisher (date)

With any relevant "notes" about the particular book indented below that. If more exhaustive information is available, or needed about a book, instead of overloading this list with that information we should probably create a separate page for that? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

{| class="wikitable" style="padding:5px; background:cornsilk;"
| style="vertical-align:top;" | Some of the books which will be listed here are ones we consider as "Essential" books for the bartender and cocktail enthusiast to be aware of, or hopefully have their own copy of. These books will be inset in a table like you see here, and will include an image of the cover on the right hand side to make the entry stand out a little more.

At the current time, this list of "Essential" books is a work-in-progress, and will be growing over time.

: Published in 1912, but reportedly it is a "reprint" of a book which Kendall Banning "found" that was originally published in 1784. It recounts several notable recipes as provided by "Calvin Banning". At the front of the reprint however it notes that Kendall, upon hearing that his great-grand-father (Calvin) had been excommunicated from the church for his drinking. <br/>    ''"So, to save grandfather's reputation, Mr Banning had to admit that the book was a hoax. He had written it himself; printed it from old, battered type on paper that he had stained with coffee, and trampled upon to give semblance of age. With such minute attention to detail had the task been done that the book was taken at its face value by everyone but the expert."''

The 1923 and priors editions held the title of "'Harry' of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails", in 1923 he was able to purchase the "New York" bar in Paris, where he had previously worked and from that point the titles changed to just "Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails" with the cover stating it was "Harry of the New York bar Paris (Late of Ciros) ABC of Mixing Cocktails".

Prior to Prohibition, the Waldorf Hotel in New York was one of the fine establishments where dignified gentlemen could enjoy a great cocktail. When Prohibition was enacted, the bar was shut down, and Albert Stevens Crockett found himself in possession of their collection of recipes. In 1931 he penned "Old Waldorf Bar Days" which contained a variety of reminiscences about the "good old days", and in this he included a section of the cocktail recipes which had been served. He would later publish these recipes as a stand-alone book "The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book". The recipes contained in this book can be seen as a time-capsule of the cocktails which were available just prior to American Prohibition.

:"The cocktail recipes in this book were chosen after months of careful study. Old-time bartenders of Boston have assisted in their choice and we feel certain that all of these drinks will prove delicious."
This edition is the 3rd Printing (Feb. 1934) of the very first edition of the now famous "Mr. Boston's Bartending Guide". I haven't yet seen an older one than this, but I'm sure they exist somewhere. The 1st Printing is listed as happening in September of 1932.

This is an important book for any cocktail enthusiast to read. It not only is one of the first times a book is written which examines the actual anatomy of what makes a great cocktail, but it is also written by somebody who is not a bartender, or even in the beverage business at all. David Embury was a lawyer, and simply a cocktail enthusiast who wanted to share his insights with others.

Bibliography

2022-04-06T23:35:15Z

DrinkBoy:

To help manage, identify, and cross-reference the various books that have been published "since the beginning of time" about cocktails, mixology, spirits, and the like, the following is an attempt to provide a fairly comprehensive list of books. The original source listing came from Martin Doudoroff and Ted Haigh, from the list they compiled for CocktailDB.

You can find a LOT of scanned cocktail/spirits books on the [https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/ EUVS Vintage Cocktail Book Library] as well. As time permits, I'll be adding books from that source here, with links back to the scanned in copies that they have online.

Other online sources for extensive cocktail bibliographies are:
* [https://library.cocktailkingdom.com/exh.canon-bibliography.html An Annotated Bibliography] Cocktail Kingdom
* [https://www.bibulo.us/2016/01/creating-the-bibulous-bibliography-of-cocktail-books.html Creating the Bibulous bibliography of cocktail books] from Bibulo.us
* [https://bar-vademecum.eu/literature-1/ The Foundation of Bartending – historical books in the age of the internet. Part 1: Introduction] from Bar-Vadecum.eu
* [https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/SciRefGuides/cocktailbooks.html American Cocktail Books, 1869-1939 Selected Titles from Library of Congress Collections] from Science Reference Services
* [https://guides.loc.gov/alcoholic-beverage-industry/general-resources Alcoholic Beverage Industry: General Resources] from Library of Congress Research Guides

I've chosen (at the moment) to list this in basically a "Bibliography" format:

Author, '''''Title''''', publisher (date)

With any relevant "notes" about the particular book indented below that. If more exhaustive information is available, or needed about a book, instead of overloading this list with that information we should probably create a separate page for that? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

{| class="wikitable" style="padding:5px; background:cornsilk;"
| style="vertical-align:top;" | Some of the books which will be listed here are ones we consider as "Essential" books for the bartender and cocktail enthusiast to be aware of, or hopefully have their own copy of. These books will be inset in a table like you see here, and will include an image of the cover on the right hand side to make the entry stand out a little more.

At the current time, this list of "Essential" books is a work-in-progress, and will be growing over time.

<hr>
<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
   For the receipt-book let the following be copied: - First, ''Cocktail'' is composed of water, with the addition of rum, gin, or brandy, as one chooses-a third of the spirit to two-thirds of the water; add bitters, and ''enrich'' with sugar and nutmeg; in ''sling'', the bitters are omitted. - Second, ''Mint Julep''. Put four or five stalks of unbruised mint into a tumbler, on them place a lump of ice; add brandy, water, and sugar. - Third, ''Apple-toddy'', says Mr. Willard, the bar-keeper of the City Hotel, who never forgets the face of a customer, is thus made: Have the fairest apples rolled in brown paper, which wet with water, and then bury them in live embers till they are thoroughly roasted and quite soft; then a fourth part of apples, a forth part of water, a lump of ice, and the whole to be ''rich'' with a fourth part of sugar, makes the agreeable compound. N. B. If there is no nutmeg convenient, a scrape or two of the mudler (wooden sugar-breaker) will answer the purpose.

At the front of the reprint however it notes that Kendall, upon hearing that his great-grand-father (Calvin) had been excommunicated from the church for his drinking. <br/>    ''"So, to save grandfather's reputation, Mr Banning had to admit that the book was a hoax. He had written it himself; printed it from old, battered type on paper that he had stained with coffee, and trampled upon to give semblance of age. With such minute attention to detail had the task been done that the book was taken at its face value by everyone but the expert."''

The 1923 and priors editions held the title of "'Harry' of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails", in 1923 he was able to purchase the "New York" bar in Paris, where he had previously worked and from that point the titles changed to just "Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails" with the cover stating it was "Harry of the New York bar Paris (Late of Ciros) ABC of Mixing Cocktails".

This is an important snapshot of the state of the cocktail just as the United States was getting ready to climb out Prohibition. Harry Craddock was the highly noted bartender at the American Bar in the Savoy Hotel of London, and this is his collection of recipes which he gathered. The publisher for the UK edition was Constable & Co. and in the United States it was Richard R. Smith.

Prior to Prohibition, the Waldorf Hotel in New York was one of the fine establishments where dignified gentlemen could enjoy a great cocktail. When Prohibition was enacted, the bar was shut down, and Albert Stevens Crockett found himself in possession of their collection of recipes. In 1931 he penned "Old Waldorf Bar Days" which contained a variety of reminiscences about the "good old days", and in this he included a section of the cocktail recipes which had been served. He would later publish these recipes as a stand-alone book "The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book". The recipes contained in this book can be seen as a time-capsule of the cocktails which were available just prior to American Prohibition.

This is an important book for any cocktail enthusiast to read. It not only is one of the first times a book is written which examines the actual anatomy of what makes a great cocktail, but it is also written by somebody who is not a bartender, or even in the beverage business at all. David Embury was a lawyer, and simply a cocktail enthusiast who wanted to share his insights with others.

Mixed Drink Types

2022-04-01T16:27:01Z

DrinkBoy:

While the [[Mixed Drink]] is simply any (hopefully tasty) combination of spirits, juices, mixers, etc. There are a variety of different types of mixed drinks which have evolved over the years which attempt to categorize the specifics of how such a drink is constructed. One of the most popular today, is the [[Cocktail]]. Originally defined as "Spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters", such a designation would allow a customer to walk into any bar and ask for a "gin cocktail" or "brandy cocktail" and the bartender would know precisely what they wanted. While many of these different drink categories have fallen out of use, the following is an attempt to provide a list of the different types of mixed drink that were at one time part of the bartenders lexicon. We've attempted to provide a simplified "definition" of the format of that particular drink, but in some cases there may not be a clear, or commonly accepted definition, in which case we've tried to provide as close as we can.

Toddy

2022-03-30T23:13:42Z

DrinkBoy:

The Toddy is presumably an American drink that predates the cocktail by several decades, with the earliest known references (as a mixed drink) being in 1750 (July 1750 edition of The Boston post-boy - ''From "Imbibe!", but want to find actual reference''). A Toddy is almost always a hot drink, if made cold, it would be hard to distinguish it from a [[Sling]] (English), and if it is made with a lemon twist, it would be difficult to differentiate it from a [[Skin]] (Irish).

Traditional recipes consist of a spirit, mixed with hot water and a sweetener of some sort. Sometimes it is garnished with a lemon twist or even a lemon wedge, and a sprinkling of nutmeg or cinnamon. The fact that it is often referred to as a "Hot Toddy" could be an indication which supports the notion that it could be served either hot or cold.

You could consider a toddy as a hot variation of punch, and like punch, toddies could be commonly served to a group instead of individuals. While it could be brought to the table in a bowl similar to how punch would be served, it would cool quickly, which made serving it in an enclosed porcelain pitcher or "Toddy Jug" much more appropriate. This would be much the same as a carafe of coffee might be served to a group today.

==Base Recipe==
* 2 ounces Spirit (although over time Whiskey has become standard)
* 3/4 ounce Sweetener (Honey, Simple Syrup, or sugar)
* 2 ounces water (normally boiling hot)
Optional: garnish with a lemon twist, or thin wheel of lemon.

==Jerry Thomas==

If you try to get a clear definition of the Toddy by using the Jerry Thomas 1862 Bartenders Guide, you will find it more than a little confusing. He lumps the Toddy and Sling together, appearing to indicate that both can be hot or cold, with the only difference being a Sling is server with a grating of nutmeg.

In this section he lists recipes for:
* '''Apple Toddy''': Sugar, cider brandy, 1/2 baked apple, boiling water, garnished with grated nutmeg.
* '''Brandy Toddy''': Sugar, brandy, water, ice. And indicates that a "Hot Brandy Toddy" would omit the ice and use boiling water.
* '''Whiskey Toddy''': Sugar, whiskey, water, ice.
* '''Gin Toddy''': Sugar, gin, water, ice.
* '''Brandy Sling''': "...same ingredients as brandy toddy, except you grate a little nutmeg on top."
* '''Hot Whiskey Sling''': Whiskey, boiling water, garnished with grated nutmeg.
* '''Gin Sling''': "...same ingredients as gin toddy, except you grate a little nutmeg on top."

From this it sounds like all that differentiates a Toddy from a [[Sling]] is the addition of grated nutmeg, except that the Apple Toddy includes nutmeg. It is also strange that the Hot Whiskey Sling doesn't include sugar.

==Early Origins==

===Fermented Coconut Flower Sap in Guam===

An extremely early use of the term "Toddy" when referencing a beverage, comes from “A New Voyage Round The World.” (Volume 1), by Captain William Dampier. It was published in 1703, and is an accounting by William Dampier regarding his ocean voyage to Guam in 1686. In this he provides details of the Coconut Tree's found there, and how the locals obtain a liquid from the tree referred to as "Toddy" (also referenced as "Toddi"). <ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_New_Voyage_Round_The_World/Oau7eMls6XEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=toddy&pg=PA293&printsec=frontcover '''Toddy and Arack Liquors made of the Coco-Tree'''] "A New Voyage Round The World.", Captain William Damiper (1703).</ref>

Here is the full text of that accounting, presented in the form it was published. You will notice the use of "ſ" scattered throughout it. This is known as a "long-s", and should not be confused with an "f".

{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:.25in;padding:10px;font-family:'Modern No. 20', serif;font-size:normal;background:cornsilk;"
|<div style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">''Toddy and Arack Liquors made of the Coco-Tree.''</div>
<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
   Beſide the Liquor or Water in the Fruit, there is alſo a ſort of wine drawn from the Tree called Toddy, which looks like Whey. It is ſweet and very pleaſant, but it is to be drunk within 24 hours after it is drawn, for afterwards it grows ſowre. Thoſe that have a great many Trees, draw a Spirit from the ſowre Wine, called Arack. Arack is diſtill’d alſo from Rice, and other things in the ''Eaſt Indies''; but none is ſo much eſteemed for making Punch as this ſort, made of Toddy, or the ſap of the Coco-nut Tree, for it makes moſt delicate Punch; but it muſt have a daſh of Brandy to hearten it, becauſe this Arack is not ſtrong enough to make good Punch of it ſelf. This ſort of Liquor is chiefly uſed about ''Goa''; and therefore it has the Name of ''Goa'' Arack. The way of drawing the Toddy from the Tree, is by cutting the top of a Branch that would bear Nuts; but before it has any Fruit; and from thence the Liquor which was to feed its Fruit, diſtils into the hole of a Callabaſh that is hung upon it.
</div>

There apparently is a similar accounting recorded as early as 1655 in "Voyage To East India." by Reverend Edward Terry, but we have been unable to locate this as a manuscript to use for reference. <ref>[https://homebars.barinacraft.com/post/37333567705/hot-toddy-drink-recipe Hot Toddy Drink - Far East Of Scotland Long Before The Cocktail] via BarinaCraft.com, Jan 10, 2022</ref>

These descriptions of gathering the liquid from the coconut palm use the terms "wine" and "distilled" in their descriptions, but without an actual indication that it is either aged for fermentation, or even mechanically distilled into a true spirit. Apparently "Palm Wine" as gathered from the coconut palm, is such that it begins noticeable fermentation almost immediately, and while not very strong, will provide a certain level of alcoholic content. It can fairly quickly yields an aromatic wine of up to 4% alcohol content. In reference to the liquid gathered from the coconut palm, "Toddy" refers to the flower sap gathered from the tree. As indicated, it ferments quickly, but also has a short shelf-life of about 24 hours.<ref>[https://www.appropedia.org/Toddy_and_Palm_Wine_(Practical_Action_Technical_Brief) '''Toddy and Palm Wine'''] (appropedia.org)</ref>

In this case, the word "Toddy" would be probably be derived from the Hindi word "tari" (palm sap), with the Hindi "r" sounding similar to the English "d".

===Scottish Roots===

In 1871, the New York Times includes a short recounting of how "Toddy" might refer to a Scottish incident where "Tod's Well" was providing the citizens of Edinburgh with "aqua" (water)... but with the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, that the Scotish whisky trade often invoiced whisky as aqua. <ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1871/01/01/issue.html '''The Origin of the Word “Toddy.”'''] The New York Times - Sunday, January 1st, 1871</ref>

|<div style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">The New York Times - Sunday, January 1st, 1871</div>
<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">The Origin of the Word “Toddy.”</span>—Here was, and is, a well called “Tod’s Well,” whence Edinburgh in the bygone days, when water was a scarcer commodity than it out to be in any well-regulated municipality, supplied the city with as much of the pure element as sufficed for that primitive and unsanitary time. It may be mentioned that, as aqua vitae in Latin, eau de vie in French, and usquebae in Highland Gaelic, severally mean the “water of life,” so “toddy,” of which the Scotch at home and abroad seldom lose the love or the flavor, seems, if we may believe an allusion in <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Allan Ramsay</span>’s poem, “The Morning Interview,” to have originally meant water without any whisky in it. Speaking of the adjuncts to the breakfast-table, the tea brought from the Eastern, and the sugar from the Western hemisphere. <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Ramsay</span> says that Scotland brings to the feast “no costly tribute,” but
<center>Only some kettles full of Toddian spring,</center>
And explains the passage by the statement in a foot-note, that “Tod’s Well supplies the city with water.” The custom in Scotland, in the whisky trade, to invoice whisky as aqua, lends strength to the supposition, and tends to disprove the allegation of the dictionaries that the word “toddy.” Is derived from India, where it signifies a kind of arrack. – ''All the Year Round.''
</div>
|}

==Earliest Recipe==

In 1801, we find in "The American Herbal or Materia Medica" by Samuel Sterns <ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Herbal_Or_Materia_Medica/GzRAAQAAMAAJ?gbpv=1&bsq=Toddy '''Toddy'''] The American Herbal or Materia Medica, Samuel Sterns (1801)</ref>, a recipe listed for the Toddy:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:.25in;padding:10px;font-family:'Modern No. 20', serif;font-size:normal;background:cornsilk;"
|<div style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">TODDY.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
   This liquor is prepared by adding to three half pints of water, one of rum or brandy, a little ſugar, and after ſtirring, a little nutmeg.<br/>
   It is called a ſalutary liquor, and eſpecially in the ſummer ſeaſon, if it is drank with moderation.
</div>
|}

This appears to be the oldest recipe for a constructed beverage going by the name of Toddy. Note that this recipe is not for a "hot toddy" but presumably a cold (or at least room-temp) one instead.

==Toddy Stick==

A key ingredient in a toddy, is usually some sugar as a sweetener. If you were making a hot toddy, this sugar would readily dissolve in the hot water, but if you were making a cold (or room-temp) toddy, the sugar would need a little more encouragement to dissolve, especially when using chunks of loaf sugar. In the early 1800's, a common tool for this was a small wooden mortar, typically with a flattened end, which would be used to crush and blend the sugar with the water and spirit. The "Toddy Stick" would be handy to use in this fashion with any cold beverage which relied on dissolved sugar.

Over time, sugar syrups, and flavored syrups would replace the use of loaf sugar for sweetening mixed drinks, especially when "ice" started to become popular around 1830, which made sugar even more difficult to dissolve. The Toddy Stick would be repurposed for instead muddling fruits, mint, or other ingredients when used to make drinks. This would eventually take on the name of "Muddler" instead of "Toddy Stick".

The way of drawing the Toddy from the Tree, is by cutting the top of a Branch that would bear Nuts; but before it has any Fruit; and from thence the Liquor which was to feed its Fruit, diſtils into the hole of a Callabaſh that is hung upon it.

There apparently is a similar accounting recorded as early as 1655 in "Voyage To East India." by Reverend Edward Terry, but we have been unable to locate this as a manuscript to use for reference. <ref>[https://homebars.barinacraft.com/post/37333567705/hot-toddy-drink-recipe Hot Toddy Drink - Far East Of Scotland Long Before The Cocktail] via BarinaCraft.com, Jan 10, 2022</ref>

These descriptions of gathering the liquid from the coconut palm use the terms "wine" and "distilled" in their descriptions, but without an actual indication that it is either aged for fermentation, or even mechanically distilled into a true spirit. Apparently "Palm Wine" as gathered from the coconut palm, is such that it begins noticeable fermentation almost immediately, and while not very strong, will provide a certain level of alcoholic content. It can fairly quickly yields an aromatic wine of up to 4% alcohol content. In reference to the liquid gathered from the coconut palm, "Toddy" refers to the flower sap gathered from the tree. As indicated, it ferments quickly, but also has a short shelf-life of about 24 hours.<ref>[https://www.appropedia.org/Toddy_and_Palm_Wine_(Practical_Action_Technical_Brief) '''Toddy and Palm Wine'''] (appropedia.org)</ref>

In this case, the word "Toddy" would be probably be derived from the Hindi word "tari" (palm sap), with the Hindi "r" sounding similar to the English "d".

===Scottish Roots===

In 1871, the New York Times includes a short recounting of how "Toddy" might refer to a Scottish incident where "Tod's Well" was providing the citizens of Edinburgh with "aqua" (water)... but with the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, that the Scotish whisky trad often invoiced whisky as aqua. <ref>[https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1871/01/01/issue.html '''The Origin of the Word “Toddy.”'''] The New York Times - Sunday, January 1st, 1871</ref>

<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">The Origin of the Word “Toddy.”</span>—Here was, and is, a well called “Tod’s Well,” whence Edinburgh in the bygone days, when water was a scarcer commodity than it out to be in any well-regulated municipality, supplied the city with as much of the pure element as sufficed for that primitive and unsanitary time. It may be mentioned that, as aqua vitae in Latin, eau de vie in French, and usquebae in Highland Gaelic, severally mean the “water of life,” so “toddy,” of which the Scotch at home and abroad seldom lose the love or the flavor, seems, if we may believe an allusion in <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Allan Ramsay</span>’s poem, “The Morning Interview,” to have originally meant water without any whisky in it. Speaking of the adjuncts to the breakfast-table, the tea brought from the Eastern, and the sugar from the Western hemisphere. <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Ramsay</span> says that Scotland brings to the feast “no costly tribute,” but
<center>Only some kettles full of Toddian spring,</center>
And explains the passage by the statement in a foot-note, that “Tod’s Well supplies the city with water.” The custom in Scotland, in the whisky trade, to invoice whisky as aqua, lends strength to the supposition, and tends to disprove the allegation of the dictionaries that the word “toddy.” Is derived from India, where it signifies a kind of arrack. – ''All the Year Round.''

==Earliest Recipe==

In 1801, we find in "The American Herbal or Materia Medica" by Samuel Sterns <ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Herbal_Or_Materia_Medica/GzRAAQAAMAAJ?gbpv=1&bsq=Toddy '''Toddy'''] The American Herbal or Materia Medica, Samuel Sterns (1801)</ref>, a recipe listed for the Toddy:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:.25in;padding:10px;font-family:'Modern No. 20', serif;font-size:normal;background:cornsilk;"
|<div style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">TODDY.</div>
<div style="text-align:justify; width:60ch">
   This liquor is prepared by adding to three half pints of water, one of rum or brandy, a little ſugar, and after ſtirring, a little nutmeg.<br/>
   It is called a ſalutary liquor, and eſpecially in the ſummer ſeaſon, if it is drank with moderation.

This appears to be the oldest recipe for a constructed beverage going by the name of Toddy.
