Like this (On the server-side) Cheatsheet:

  // sending to individual socketid (private message)
  socket.to(<socketid>).emit('hey', 'I just met you');

The <> chatacters can be omitted, just make sure you replace socketid with whatever the socket ID truly is. This will sent a message to ONLY the socket id specified. I know this works because I use it.
