In a heatproof mug, add the gin, Cointreau, caramel syrup, lemon juice, and a dash of Angostura bitters.
Stir gently until all the ingredients are well mixed.
Carefully top up the drink with hot boiling water, leaving some space at the rim.
Float a lemon wheel on top and add a star anise for an aromatic touch. Serve warm and enjoy.
Pro Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly caramelize the lemon wheel in a pan before using it as a garnish.
- Use a cinnamon stick as a stirrer for added warmth and spice.
- Preheat your mug or glass with warm water to keep the drink hot longer.
