Yeehaw for the holiday forum!! :D
The red cups are back already here in Pittsburgh!! It's kind of shocking to think that November is already well underway!
By the way... I'm still waiting for someone to vote for "posset" from this list! Maybe it'll happen this year.
;D
Kelda:

Anyway... I think there are a ton of different interpretations of what "hot toddy" means... but here's one that sounds good.

I voted for the hot toddy, Amanda, but I may be confused...the ones I've had were whisky-based instead of brandy...
Also on my list are cocoa with marshmallows, mulled cider, and buttered rum.

This was based on my "research" on the topic of posset last year. I think I learned of the term in the first place by Googling traditional holiday drinks. I wanted to put some rather obscure options or very old-fashioned options on the list just for fun. I also seem to recall thinking it was neat that this recipe seems to have a connection to Scotland. So, at least initially I was curious to know if you'd ever heard of it. It's not all that easy to find a lot of information on it, so I think it probably is pretty obscure. And, I'm wondering if it's more of a historical drink than a drink that people make these days.
This is from the first page of this thread.

Possets:
Possets are hot, alcoholic, milky drinks which were all the rage back in the Middle Ages. A classic Scottish posset combines milk, oatmeal, salt, honey, grated nutmeg and a large shot of whisky heated until it is nearly boiling.
