Some hot toddies for German? (4)
I believe the answer is:
otto
'german?' is the definition.
(common German name)
'some hot toddies for' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OTTO' is hidden within 'hot toddies for'.
(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Rose oil; man's name" , "Producer of engines" , "Preminger or von Bismark?" , "Palindromic German male Christian name" , "Palindromic fragrance" .)
