Honey Bee Buzz
Yield 2 (fairly strong) drinks
Ingredients
Honey Simple Syrup Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw honey (preferably local to get those awesome anti-allergy benefits)
- 1/2 cup water
Cocktail Ingredients:
- 2 tbs honey simple syrup
- 3 oz burbon (I recommend you use a decent bourbon for this cocktail (click here for our favourite). Even though honey is absolutely delicious it can't mask the taste of cheap liquor)
- 3 tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Sparking water
- Rosemary sprigs to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by making the honey simple syrup: heat the water and the honey in a saucepan until the honey melts into the water (approximately 5 minutes). Place the solution in a mason jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Combine 2 tbs honey simple syrup, bourbon & lemon juice in a cocktail shaker over ice and shake to mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into two short cocktail classes over ice and top with a little sparkling water for that extra 'buzz'. Garnish with rosemary sprigs if you're feeling fancy.
