Scotland, the homeland of whisky, is usually pretty chilly all year round. Perhaps that's why they're home to the hot toddy—a drink the Scots created to warm their bodies when they came down with a cold. Some doctors even recommend a glass of this instead of prescription cough syrup. The best part is that it’s really easy to make. Dissolve some honey with boiling water in a mug and, then top it off with whisky. Add some lemon or cinnamon as a garnish to give it a deeper aroma. Those who are not too familiar with drinking whisky might want to give this a try at a place in Seorae Village. The moment you step into Rivington Social, your eyes will dart towards the massive collection of whiskies. The bartender explains the traditions and different recipes about this healthy drink with such vivacity that watching his passion is just as warming as the drink!
Editor’s Tip
The basic way to drink sake is called acheukang, which means “warm sake.” There’s also oyuwari, where you mix it with warm water, and pouring cold water in your drink makes it mizuwari. Is there anything more special, you ask? Mix in an egg yolk into your warm sake, and you’ll get the sensation of your stomach being cleansed.
