Irish Hot Port

Irish Hot Port

Irish Hot Port is a traditional Irish winter warmer because, of course, they don’t have enough traditional hot drinks already! So put down your Irish Coffee and join with us in raising a glass to those well-known liquid culinary experts, the Irish.

Who would have thought we would find a recipe on a honey website, good job we did because this is a fantastic Hot Cocktail, it could easily become one of your favourites.

During our travels around Europe, we spent a couple of days in Porto and naturally tested out some of the local produce. Accidentally, we managed to get double portions of the testers at the end of our tour, don’t know how that happened 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 70ml Ruby Port (not tawny, and preferably not a vintage…save that for the stilton!)
  • Honey to taste
  • 1 Clove
  • Water to fill
  • Lemon slice to garnish

Method:

  1. Put the port, honey and clove into your Milk Frother and then top up with water to the max mark.
  2. Replace the lid and then press the start button and wait until finished.
  3. Meanwhile, heat up your glass using hot water from a kettle.
  4. When your milk frother has finished, empty the water out of the glass and fill with your Hot Cocktail.
  5. Enjoy your Irish Hot Port.

Mark’s Top Tip: Give the lemon slice a good squeeze into your glass.
