Hot drink of port, lemon juice and nutmeg (5)

I believe the answer is:

negus

(Other definitions for negus that I've seen before include "Hot spiced port with lemon" , "Hot stimulant" , "Mulled drink" , "Warm drink" , "Old Ethiopian king; hot port drink" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
