[4] The iconic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

We have regularly lamented the lack of peanut butter ice cream in our supermarket freezers. Granted, we live in New York City, where the stores are smaller and the choices fewer.

But Reese’s has wowed us with a portfolio of dazzling PB ice cream choices, some of which have actually shown up in our grocer’s freezer case!

Now, this is something to scream about! Reese’s has taken its combination of chocolate and peanut butter to the freezer aisle with a brand-new line of Reese’s frozen treats: three ice cream flavors, a peanut butter ice cream sandwich, peanut butter and chocolate cones, a dessert bar coated in cake crumbs, and a dessert cup—an ice cream version of the original peanut butter cup.

January 11th is National Hot Toddy Day, coming at a good time in what is traditionally cold and flu season.

Medical professionals agree that a hot toddy can be good for colds and mild respiratory congestion.

 
But a hot toddy is also a warm and comforting drink in chilly weather, and lets you use your favorite spirit—bourbon, brandy, gin, scotch, tequila, etc.

There are even beer toddies and wine toddies (mulled wine, recipes below).

> While January 11th is National Hot Toddy Day, Hot Buttered Rum Day, on January 17th, celebrates almost the same drink. The difference: A hot toddy can be made with any spirit, whereas hot buttered rum is made with rum.

> The year’s 49 cocktail and spirits holidays.

Below:

> Snacks to serve with toddies.
 
 
THANKS TO INDIA FOR THE FIRST RECIPE 

The toddy first appeared in the early 16th century in India. It was named tārī (a Hindi word pronounced taddy), and was a popular folk remedy for congestion. (Punch also came from India: the scoop.)

The mixture, originally served cold, included alcohol, sugar, water, and spices (very similar to today’s basic recipe).

Adding hot water, and later hot tea, turned it into a remedy for colds and respiratory congestion.

As with much from India, toddy made its way to Britain, and then to the American colonies.
