Irish Hot Whiskey

January 31, 2015 by Irish American Mom 45 Comments

Cold and flu season is upon us. But fear not! Ireland boasts a traditional cure for notorious winter viruses.  Of course, the Irish answer to chills and fevers is none other than a hot whiskey.

Lemon infused hot whiskey with cloves

Whiskey’s medicinal properties are probably why it got its name “uisce beatha”, or water of life?

In Scotland the preferred name for this winter drink is a hot toddy, but whether you use Irish whiskey or Scotch whisky, this steaming, lemon and clove infused hot beverage not only warms the cockles of the heart, but helps ward off the sniffles.

Even if you’re not coming down with a dose of the sneezes, this comforting concoction can warm you up nicely on a cold evening.

In years gone by hot whiskey was called whiskey punch. The early temperance movements were none too pleased with this favorite Irish beverage, and the phrase “punch drunk” was born. I had thought this term was a stereotypical reference to drunken, fighting Irish men, not their libation of choice.  The use of the term whiskey punch died away long ago, but the drink itself has survived the ages.

But be warned. Not all hot whiskeys are created equal. There are many ways to mix this drink, but if the ingredients are not prepared correctly and in the right proportions this aromatic drink can be far from comforting.

When made correctly a hot whiskey can be a work of delicious art.

Here are my tips and tricks for hot whiskey making success.

A glass with a handle for making hot whiskey

1. Choose Your Glass:

 

I like to use a thick glass with a handle. Irish coffee glasses are just perfect.

Drinking hot whiskey in a glass tumbler is risky business. The steaming beverage scalds the glass in no time at all and the only way to hold it is to wrap it in paper towels or a napkin.

So be safe! Use a glass with a handle. (I’m sounding more like my own mother each and every day.)

Studding a lemon with cloves for a hot whiskey

2. Stud Your Lemon With Cloves:

 

I use a nice thick slice of lemon and cut it into two semi-circles.  I’ve seen hot whiskeys made with tiny slivers of lemon and all I can do is shake my head.  Sorry for sounding bossy, but I fancy myself as a bit of a hot whiskey expert. It’s my God given right – I’m Irish.

Before you slice the lemon, it’s best to wash it well with very hot water to remove any wax covering. Or better again, use an organic lemon that doesn’t have a wax coating.

Cut a slice of the lemon and halve it.  Remove any pips from the lemon. I don’t like pips floating in my hot whiskey.

Some people like to squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into their hot whiskey. For me a few drops will pass, but if you over do the lemon juice you’re simply creating an alcoholic lemon Theraflu or Lemsip, which is the Irish or British equivalent.

Stud each piece of lemon with 3 or 4 cloves. Don’t overdo the cloves unless you love the strong flavor of these little spice devils.

 

3. Pre-heat Your Glass:

 

This is my granny’s golden rule of hot whiskey making. It’s as important as pre-scalding your teapot when making tea.

I quarter fill the glass with boiling water and swish it around the glass, before tipping it out.

I’ve seen friends heat the glass by holding it over the spout of a steaming kettle, but that’s too risky for me. My fingers can never escape the steam, so I recommend the water swishing method.

4. Place A Metal Spoon In The Glass:

 

A spoon should be placed in the glass before adding whiskey and boiling water.

I was always told this little trick prevented the glass from cracking when hit by the boiling water. The poor glass could get such a fright when scalded it might split in two.  Now this theory has probably been scientifically debunked long ago, but I still don’t wish to work with frightened glasses.

Another rational for this step is that the metal spoon absorbs heat from the boiling liquid, thereby cooling it down a bit, bringing the hot toddy to drinking temperature a little quicker.

A full measure of whiskey for a hot toddy

5. Measure Your Whiskey:

 

For an Irish coffee glass you really need to add a good measure of whiskey. So I suppose I am recommending one full measure plus a wee drop.

To tell you the truth I just add a good dollop of  liquid gold at the bottom of my glass.  Since I’m trying to sound like an official hot whiskey expert I thought I had better check out the exact volume in a measure of whiskey.

Here’s what I discovered.

A single measure in Ireland is 35.5 mls.

A regular American single measure is 44 mls or 1.5 fluid ounces. Everything really is bigger in America.

But a small American measure is 30 mls or 1 fluid ounce.

So here’s my advice …..

In Ireland add a measure and a wee drop of whiskey, and in America add a full regular single measure of 1.5 fluid ounces.

Remember too much boiling water and too little whiskey yields a watery hot whiskey lacking its famous kick. More whiskey equates to more pizazz, or oomph, or whatever you like to call it.

Pour the whiskey into the glass at this stage. It won’t be alone for long.

 

6. Add Brown Sugar And/Or Honey:

 

Now I always insist on using brown sugar rather than white sugar. The more intense caramel flavors of brown sugar are prerequisite for my hot whiskeys.

Add two teaspoons of brown sugar to the whiskey in the glass.

A little honey is fine, especially if you are making your hot whiskey for medicinal purposes, but don’t over do it. Honey will mask the subtle flavors brown sugar brings to the drink.

Preparing a hot whiskey

7. Pop-In The Lemons:

 

Now it’s time to pop those prepared lemons into the glass to await their boiling water bath.

Some hot whiskey preparers hold off on adding the lemons until after the boiling water is poured over the whiskey, but I like how the lemon and clove flavors infuse the hot liquid when they feel the full force of the boiling water.

 

8. Top Up With Boiling Water:

 

No tepid, luke warm water allowed for making hot whiskey.

The scalding hot temperature of boiling water is required to ensure the lemon, cloves and brown sugar release their flavors and blend together mellowing the whiskey.

My glass takes an additional 5 fluid ounces of hot water to top it off, but some glasses will take more.  The choice is yours.  Pour in hot water, but leave some room for extra if needed.  Should you find your whiskey too strong for your liking, you can always add a little more hot water after you take the first sip.

Irish hot whiskey

9. Stir And Enjoy:

 

Gentle stirring only is allowed. The only purpose of stirring is to help dissolve the sugar.

Too much stirring knocks tiny segments off the lemon slices which detract from the smooth quality of a good hot whiskey.

This drink is definitely stirred not shaken.

Serve hot whiskey immediately. Sip, don’t gulp. This hot, aromatic drink is designed to be savored slowly, allowing the whiskey time to coat your throat and attack all those sore throat inducing bugs.

 

10. Some Variations To Consider:

 

I can’t even believe I typed this heading. My poor granny is turning in her grave at the very thought of destroying a pure hot whiskey with strange and unusual ingredients.

But I just can’t resist mentioning a few additions, just perfect for hot whiskey experimentation:

A sliver of fresh ginger may kick it up a peg or two, adding a medicinal zing.

If you like a sweeter, more mellow drink why not stir it with a cinnamon stick. Whatever you do, don’t add a spoon of dry cinnamon. It won’t blend with the hot whiskey.  A cinnamon stick, however, infuses the blend with an extra layer of flavor.

You can also make your hot whiskey with freshly made tea instead of hot boiling water. A lemon infused tea might be delicious. I haven’t personally tried this one, but I like the idea.

 

An Hot Whiskey - an Irish cure for colds and fevers

And so, there you have it – my Irish hot whiskey making tips and techniques.

Wishing you all sniffle free days over the coming weeks of winter.

But if you can’t escape the winter time chills, a good hot whiskey may be all you need to dampen those flu-like symptoms.

And so I raise my glass and drink to your health.

    Mmmmm. It has to be Jamesons. 🙂 My fave way is to lemon the edge of my Irish Coffee glass, then dip it in cane sugar, a dollop of whiskey ( not sure how big one of those is in Canada but I’m assuming it’s about a shot and a half ) and fill with hot tea. 🙂 Yes, I drink my Jamesons with tea and if I have it, a squirt of real whipped cream on top…but I’m going to try it your way next time. Love the idea of lemon slices with cloves.

    OR you could just fill that glass half way with whiskey and forget about the lemons and honey!
    Just kidding! My Dad swears by whiskey/lemon and honey but he likes to stir it up with a peppermint stick, maybe that takes the place of the cloves?
    Anyway, I love this and hope you don’t have any great need of it. In other words, stay well! xx

      Peggy, in Ireland it’s mainly called a Hot Whiskey. The Scots refer to it as a Hot Toddy.

      Also as a former Bar Tender of many years, who has made thousands of Hot Whiskeys and Irish Coffees.

      If you can get your hand on Powers Gold Label Whiskey – http://powerswhiskey.ie/product-info , it’s a deeper fuller flavour which works better than Jameson (which I know is more ubiquitous in North America) with the suggested ingredients…

      All down to personal taste of course, but you’re adding more water than would usually be added to a glass of Whiskey so a fuller flavored blend is better..

    mairead, As usual I very much enjoyed this Jamesons whisky recipe. Jamisons is,indeed a wonderful drink,even when simply considered an Irish version of a lovely “wee dram” . As an aside here,a scottish wee dram is usually made with a very small splash of cool water, at a scottish sponsored “tasting affair” we were completely convinced that the addition of such a tiny amount of water could trigger a wonderful release of smell(taste) from our wee dram. Your water addition reminded me of this,and I always continue to do it. P.S., How I pronounce “slainte”? Don

      Hi Don – Lots of Irish whiskey drinkers love to add a little drop of water to their drinks, just like the Scottish whisky connoiseurs. Pronouncing “sláinte” goes like this slawn-teh. Hope this helps, so that every time you lift a wee dram you can drink to your health with proper pronunciation.

It is incredibly effective. If the added whiskey enhances my mood at the least, I’ll be a happier guy as I deal with my cold. Looking forward to more ramblings about the land of my family’s history.

    Punch drunk, also known by its medical latin name Dementia pugilistica (DP) is a type of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease with features of dementia. DP may affect amateur or professional boxers, wrestlers as well as athletes in other sports who suffer concussions. It is also called chronic boxer’s encephalopathy, traumatic boxer’s encephalopathy, boxer’s dementia, pugilistic dementia, chronic traumatic brain injury associated with boxing (CTBI-B), and punch-drunk syndrome.

        In Portland, Oregon it started snowing on Christmas Eve. By Christmas morning everything was covered in new snow. I’d made it home from mass the night before. It was cold and the streets were treacherous. I was stuck indoors on Christmas Day and had my own small party. I had half a bottle of Glühwein left from the previous Wednesday and I had a quarter bottle of Tullamore Dew on hand. So I said, “Let’s have a German-Irish wedding,” and poured a shot of the whiskey into a mug and warmed up the Glühwein and added seven cloves. Once the wine was steaming I poured it into the mug with the whiskey. The result was a delicious mid-winter treat!
