Jamaican people have a natural remedy for everything. As a kid, this remedy was sure to kick any cold and fever symptoms—problematic, I know. However, now as an adult, it’s one of my favorite warm, wintertime cocktails. This is the perfect cocktail to add to the menu for holiday gatherings such as Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz hot water
  • 3 whole allspice berries
  • 1 oz Wr

Method

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water and allspice berries and bring to a rolling boil, then remove from the heat.

Pour the rum into a mug, followed by the lime juice and honey. Pour the hot water through a strainer into the mug.

Mix well and enjoy hot!
