Whisky/honey - best medicine for cold



Option 1.
    Take a cocktail glass. Add whiskey and honey in 1:1 or 2:1 or any ratio that you prefer.
Boil water separately. Then heat the mix as shown in the picture below.



Never heat them in microwave or gas. It will ruin the aroma of whisky.

Option 2
     Honey, whiskey, hot water, lime juice, cinnamon and cloves


1½ ounce brown liquor such as brandywhiskey or rum
1 tablespoon honey
½ ounce lemon juice
1 cup hot water
Lemon wedge, cinnamon stick and star anise, for garnish (optional)
Combined the first four ingredients into the bottom of a warmed mug. 
   

Whisky Sour


Sour is a cocktail containing base liquor, lime juice, sweetener (sugar syrup or grenadine or orange juice or pineapple juice) and egg white for foam.

Whisky sour

For Piscosour: substitute whiskey with pisco (brandy from wine making regions of Peru & Chile)
