  1. Drop a lump of sugar into a hot water glass and dissolve it in a little hot water, crushing with a muddler.
  2. Add the whiskeys, fill with boiling water, twist a piece of lemon peel, grate nutmeg on top, and serve.

Garnish: Twisted lemon peel and grated nutmeg

This matters because Bullock preserves a compact hot punch branch built directly in the glass rather than only in bowl or toddy form.

The split-base whiskey build and hot-water-glass service are the key historical features here.
