Spiced and sweetened hot drink of port and lemon juice (5)

I believe the answer is:

negus

(Other definitions for negus that I've seen before include "Ethiopian emperor (hist.)" , "Drink that's heated" , "Title of Emperor of Ethiopia" , "Abyssinian king - hot, spicy drink" , "Hot stimulant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
