I hardly drink coffee, too. This is because it cannot sleep by action of caffeine.

Coffee+whiskey with whipped cream is called Irish coffee around Europe as well. Not sure if it fits as morning drink, but quite a good one in cold winter day (I still prefer hot wine with spices , so called gluntwein)

In the states, coffee with whiskey is called an Irish coffeee. Its often used as a morning drink, something fun to do on your day off. It is often topped with whipped cream.
I don't drink coffee anymore, and I have gotten too old to have drinks in the morning, but I had some Irish coffees when I was younger.

By the way, I have not yet tried the thing which put Japanese sake and ginger together. The thing which a Japanese often mixes with "sake" is a fin of the fish. I slightly warm the fin. For a fragrance. Or I mix some salt. To enjoy original sweetness with the salt.

A lemon and honey. Good. Was cold restored? One of my friends lives in the place approximately 77 miles away from my house. I visited the friend before. There was bar for jazz in the neighborhood of the house of the friend, and I and the friend enjoyed alcohol together. The master of bar said. When I said that Philly Joe Jones came to the shop in old days, and Philly asked a shop for the thing which I mixed black coffee and whiskey with in the shop, I said. Philly seemed to call it "Half and Half". I did not know that there was such a drink. |

Speaking of mixing ginger with alcohol, I was looking at some sake choices in the liquor store and they had one with ginger. I didn't buy it because I thought the flavors would be artificial.
I think what might be better is to get some sake and then add your own slices of real ginger and see what that is like. Tonight I am drinking warm tea with whiskey, lemon and honey, also some whiskey shots and whiskey mixed with honey.  |

 Exactly. I've enjoyed beer last night (assume John would shout "no beer at such a cold night!" hahhaha).  |

Many restaurants around will have Beaujolais Nouveau parties tonight. Probably nice reason for one more party, but young wine is not a drink I would enjoy there

 Basically this stuff is thought as a sweet seasoning but we can drink / enjoy premium mirin really (very few people know this fact even in Japan). |

I love really good tequila, possibly my favorite drink.
A popular drink in Mexico that I like to make in the summer time, - (my version) grapefruit soda (not grapefruit juice), tequila, lime juice and ice. Once the ice is in the drink, sprinkle some salt and sugar on the ice. Salt first to make holes in the ice, and then a little more lime juice and sugar. Its a warm climate drink, not so appealing in the winter. Straight shots of good tequila would be the best in winter.

I had been thinking vodka might be the best for ginger, I also considered rum too. Pure alcohol is called grain alcohol in the US.
I would not mix ginger with whiskey or tequila, but gin might be a possibility.

Oh. Yes. Probably it is colorless alcohol in Japan. The name is shochu, but it is the Japanese name. I do not know whether it should be called a spirits. It resembles vodka, but the alcoholicity is lower than vodka.

Ginger and the mixture of the alcohol are often homemade in Japan. I let I put ginger in liqueur and mature for half a year. Or it is approximately one year. The alcohol with commercial ginger is not almost sold. Or I may put it in tea not alcohol.

Please be careful about a cold. Yes. My family has not yet taken in preventive injection for influenza. Therefore, I prevent a cold with a drink, too. It is identical to John. A lemon and honey are essential in winter in Japan. Or it is ginger.

Having a cold can really change my tastes in drinking. Lately I've been making a hot tea with honey, lemon and whiskey.
