Derived from a Hindi drink called the tari, the hot toddy mixes some type of sugar, whiskey, and hot water to restorative effect. No. 9 Park's Tommy Mastricola, one of the city's best bartenders, just put this heated potion on his cocktail menu. His version employs honey for aromatics and Booker's bourbon for its soothing quality. Spritzed with lemon, it warms the soul and senses -- a dead-on drink for the dead of winter.

No. 9 Park, 9 Park Street, Boston, (617) 742-9991.
