Whisky Skin

Matthew Kelly / Supercall
This Gaelic cousin of the classic Hot Toddy swaps out standard whiskey for scotch to envelop its drinker in a smoky embrace. Demerara sugar replaces the usual honey, and a single strip of a lemon peel is substituted for lemon juice. The result is a comforting libation that’ll warm you from the inside out.
