Ingredients

  • 2 medium-large oranges
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 small box (about 1½ oz / 40 g ) raisins
  • 8 oz (220 g) honey
  • 12 oz (355 ml ) whiskey or more to taste
  • ½–1 teaspoon each of any or all of these spices: cinnamon , nutmeg , cloves , caraway seed , aniseed

Directions

1

Peel the oranges and lemons. Cut up the fruit and squeeze them into a crock pot . A garlic press or potato-ricer works, or some kind of juicer or fruit squeezer. Put the remaining fruit pulp into the crock pot as well.

2

Add the raisins, honey, and spices. Stir. Do not add whiskey yet!

3

Start the crock pot, and let the mixture cook for about 2–4 hours. Stir occasionally. It's complete when the fruit pulp gets cooked down.

4

Strain into a pitcher. Mash down the fruit in the strainer to get all the liquid.

5

Add the whiskey to the pitcher and stir. If you cook the whiskey, even for a short time, the alcohol will start to evaporate. Taste, and add more whiskey to your liking.

6

Serve hot in shot glasses, espresso cups, or coffee mugs. After the first round, each individual serving can be reheated in the microwave .
