It might strike you as Sydney's smallest pub, but The Duke of Clarence does some pretty big things when it comes to flavour.
You'll find them down a laneway off busy Clarence Street in the Sydney CBD, and what you'll find is a little slice of old world England — and a pretty terrific house take on the Hot Toddy. They spice the honey syrup with an array of spices: fennel seeds, pepper corn, cinnamon, star anise, clove, and rosemary to name just a few. Then they hit the drink with a little lemon and a warming measure of Aberfeldy 12, and heat it all up with some proper English breakfast tea.
