Optional Hot Variation

Method

Cold Whisky Mac (on the rocks)

  1. 1

    Choose a rocks glass (old-fashioned glass). If you prefer the drink well chilled, place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes or prepare over a mixing glass with ice.

  2. 2

    Add 2 fl oz blended Scotch whisky to the glass.

  3. 3

    Add 1 fl oz ginger wine to the glass.

  4. 4

    Add 3 ice cubes (if using). Gently stir once or twice to combine and slightly chill without over-diluting.

  5. 5

    Express a lemon peel over the drink to release oils, rub the peel around the rim if desired, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately.

Hot Whisky Mac (hot toddy-style)

  1. 7

    Warm a heatproof mug or teacup by rinsing it with hot water, then discard the rinse water.

  2. 8

    Pour 2 fl oz blended Scotch whisky and 1 fl oz ginger wine into the warmed mug.

  3. 9

    Add 2 fl oz hot water to taste to dilute and warm the drink. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 10

    Taste and, if you like a slightly sweeter hot version, stir in up to 1/2 tsp honey until dissolved.

  5. 11

    Garnish with a lemon twist or a thin slice of lemon if desired, and serve hot.
