Head to head
Hot Toddy and Tequila Sunrise side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Hot Toddy has bourbon, honey and water, the Tequila Sunrise tequila, orange juice and grenadine. In parts, a Hot Toddy is 2 whiskey, 1 honey and 5½ water; a Tequila Sunrise is 3 tequila, 6 orange and 1 grenadine. By volume, the Hot Toddy is 64% mixer and juice, 24% spirit and 12% syrup and sugar; the Tequila Sunrise is 60% mixer and juice, 30% spirit and 10% syrup and sugar. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (10.8% and 11.0% ABV), but the Hot Toddy is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.14 standard drinks against 1.01). The Hot Toddy has more calories (about 209 against 194) and more sugar (26.2 g against 16.9 g). Both are built; the Hot Toddy is served in an Irish coffee glass, the Tequila Sunrise in a highball.
