Recipes Drinks Recipes Cocktail Recipes Whiskey Drinks Recipes Hot Irish Whiskey 4.5 (13) 11 Reviews 6 Photos My best friend, who just happens to be Irish, made this drink for me one cold night in Chicago, and since then, I have been hooked! Warning: It is very potent. Just one of these will warm you up and basically make you good for nothing afterward—what a treat! It is super to drink at night if you have a sore throat. My friend said this is what the Irish drink if they don't feel good, but don't wait until you have a cold to try this recipe!
