Like many European countries, the Irish have their own Christmas drink: “Hot Whiskey”. It’s a tasty hot drink made with Irish whiskey, brown sugar, lemon, cloves and cinnamon. A particularly convivial kind of improved grog, to be enjoyed in the run-up to Christmas!

Let’s face it: Irish Hot Whiskey bears some resemblance to a punch… but with an Irish twist (the famous Irish whiskey)! Simple and easy to make, it’s an ideal beverage for warming up and spending the festive season in a warm atmosphere.
Admittedly, this grog should be consumed in moderation, but it’s a real delight… The spices are reminiscent of the magic of Christmas, while the warm whiskey and brown sugar make this a very pleasant spirit on the palate! Even better: according to the Irish, it’s a real cure for the common cold!
Many local Irish pubs offer them. It’s a bit pricey (from €7), but it’s made with the best whiskeys in the country!
