🥃 Serve in: Irish Coffee Cup
Whiskey meets honey and fresh lemon here, warmed through with cinnamon and cloves and topped with hot water. Its soothing, cold-and-flu-season reputation goes back centuries, with variations turning up across countless drinking traditions. Warm, comforting, and only mildly sweet, it's as much a remedy as it is a drink. Served hot in an Irish coffee cup.
STEP 1 Whisk the whisky and honey together and split between 2 heatproof glasses. Add half of the cinnamon stick to each, then top up with 200ml boiling water. STEP 2 Add a splash of lemon juice to each, then taste and add more to your preference. Finish each with a slice of lemon, studded with a clove, and serve immediately.
