LOL, JennyO !



A version of hot toddy on sale at a local pub:

50 mm dark rum (Lamb's Navy, or Bootlegger)
1 sachet brown sugar
25 mm Vimto (I am not joking - this is the secret ingredient)
Top up with boiling water, add a slice of lemon



Vimto, for non-UK 'Catters is a fruit-flavoured drink. It is the punch-line in thousands of jokes about the dyslexic rock star who sold his soul to Santa, and choked on his own Vimto.

Nobody seems to have looked suspiciously at their hot toddy and said, "'Ere ! This tastes like a boiled sweet !"
