Negus (Hot)

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Select a heat-resistant glass and preheat it to ensure the cocktail stays warm.

Prepare a garnish of grated nutmeg, and optionally, a cinnamon stick.

Place a bar spoon in the pre-warmed glass to help distribute heat evenly.

Pour the Ruby Soho Port, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rich sugar syrup, and boiling water into the heated glass.

Gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Dust the top with grated nutmeg, and if desired, add a cinnamon stick for an optional touch.
