You have to be ill to drink Bells!
i've never heard of whisky toddy before, how do you make it?
Half a lemon juiced a shot of whiskey hot water and honey to taste

Not a meanie - just plain sensible!
At that price you should not add anything to the whisky - not even ice or water!
If god had wanted whisky to be a weak and watery brew he would not have made it of alcohol!
Buy some coloured rubbing alcohol such as Bells if you want to make toddies!
The woman is really ill if she expected you to use GOOD whisky in a toddy - get her to hospital fast, this kind of delirium only comes with severe illness!

Hmmm, even the Whisky Society say that it should be let down with a splash of water (don't drown it) or at a push a single ice cube. If possible with water from where it's made. Luckily I live in a village with a decent distillery and a water bottling plant. Though another nice wee additive is to nip out, pick a couple of fresh juniper berries, crush them and place in your whisky. (Very old school trick that.)
Ice numbs the tastebuds (which is why lager is served cold - so you cannot taste how bad it is!) water from the same spot as the whisky ... OK I give you that one .. but not tap or bottled water full of chemical addatives, please!
The juniper berries sounds interesting but has to REALY alter the flavour that I bought the whisky for in the first place.... it is used in Gin to cut the awful greasy taste of the basic product - rubbing alcohol!
There's a lot of nonsense talked regarding booze, the bottom line is you've paid for it and if you want to add dry ginger ale to a single malt et al, if you like the taste, then do it and sod what 'experts' say.
With that I'm going to make a stiff pink Gin.

Well it is after 12, so gin time.
Yes you're right, if you paid do what you want to it, but like any premium product we get protective over it - I hate people digging with a knife, especially a nice one. Or if you put salt on food I've prepared for you before tasting it then I'll silently, inwardly seethe then poison you next time you're round - if there's a next time

Manners maketh man!I'm the same with table manners, I hate poor table manners, things like people holding a knife like they would a pen (if they can write that is), or picking up a glass of chilled wine by the glass bulb rather than the glass stem.
Once my daughter drops off a bottle of Angostura Bitters I can have my pink gin
