Cocktails by Pedro Chicote (1928, p.335) — Hot
| 1 sherry glass | Absinthe — absinthe | base |
| 1 tablespoon | sugar — azucar en polvo | base |
| Angostura bitters — Angostura | bitter | |
| hot water — agua caliente | dilution | |
| anisette — anisete | modifier |
- Build in the glass, top with hot water, stir, and serve with straws.
This matters because Chicote explicitly notes toddies as a living hot-and-cold family rather than a vestigial nineteenth-century survival.
The defining feature is direct hot-water service in the glass rather than shaking.
