Ah the good ole HOT WHISKEY! One of my favorite winter drinks that warms me right up!
I first was met with the lovely treat almost THREE years ago in Galway, Ireland. I was at College Bar at NUIG Galway (Ireland may be Catholic, but they love their drinks), and my friend Fleur ordered a Hot whiskey. Its like tea for adults. You actually can use one of your favorite teas and add it to this lovely mix if you're sick of the classic process.
You see, it's all pretty simple.
- Grab a tea kettle, or a pot, and fill it with water. Heat that baby up! (with fire/heat)
- While your water is heating,take a mug, take a shot (or 6) of your favorite Irish Whiskey. Stay away from Jameson. Make it different spice it up. I'm currently drinking Concannon ; its a blend of malt and grain whiskey from the lovely country :). It has some spice and a bit of smoke in it because this whiskey is left ex-bourbon barrels and then Pinot Noir (wine) casks for a maximum of four years to bring out a bit more character than the classic Jameson you see everywhere you go
- Add a tablespoon of lemon in your mug, followed by 3 teaspoons of sugar (or as sweet as you'd prefer)
- When the water boils, add as much water as needed to fill up the mug and stir. Let it cool a bit so its drinkable and enjoy :)
Enjoy Folks. I think for most of you its a great way to settle in your 4 week vacation ^_^
