In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Traditionally, a hot toddy is made with whiskey or brandy, or a combination of the two. Add a small (or generous) amount and gently stir to mix ingredients. What type of whisky or brandy you use is up to you. Add the amount of whisky or brandy you like. If you like a weak drink, add less than an ounce. If you like a strong drink, add an ounce and a half. If you don't like the flavor of whisky or brandy, try a little rum. Use the same amount of liquor as you would if using the other spirits. The spices in spiced rum in particular go very well in a hot toddy. Bartenders are known to add a wide variety of spirits to the traditional hot toddy mixture. This can vary greatly, from replacing the main liquor, with gin for example, to adding a splash of Campari or some other liqueur to add complexity to the flavor.
Add whisky or brandy to your glass. Try adding rum or spiced rum. Consider adding additional liqueurs or flavored spirits.
