==Historical References== ==="Reminiscences: personal and other incidents ; early settlement of Otsego County," By Levi Beardsley, 1852=== "Now, when a party meet, and wish to take a social glass, a brandy smash or whisky toddy is prepared for each. Then, on meeting at a country tavern, some one of the company would call for a brandy sling, or a rum or [[Gin Sling|gin sling]], which required a gill of liquor; this being properly mixed, with sugar and water, and stirred up with the [[Toddy Stick|toddy stick]], till the compound almost foamed, was ready for a sprinkling of nutmeg, and was then handed to the one who called for it. He took a drink and handed it to his neighbour; who drank and passed it along till it was drank off, and the one who finished it called for another, each one generally calling for a sling before the sitting was completed." ==="STAGECOACH and TAVERN DAYS", Alice Morse Earle, 1900=== "The toddy stick, beloved for the welcome ringing music it made on the sides of glass tumblers, was used to stir up toddy and other sweetened drinks. It was a stick six or eight inches long, with a knob at one end, or flattened out at the end so it would readily crush the loaf sugar used in the drink."
