Tastes Like Honey, Stings Like a Bee

honey.jpgWhen a cocktail is delicious and easy to make, it’s worth talking about. Often times we get overly ambitious with our mixology skills and the results can be drinks that are undrinkable, even for professional lushes like us. Perhaps that’s why we fell in love with the Honey Bee. This cocktail is light and refreshing with just a subtle hint of sweetness and involves nothing more than a shaker and a few easy to find ingredients. We just had to knock on our neighbor’s door to borrow the honey. Thanks 6C.

Honey Bee
2 oz Appleton Estate Aged Rum (or a Jamaican Dark rum)
1/4 oz honey
1/2 oz lemon juice

Pour the rum, honey and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.

    As a bee-obsessed person, I can't believe I haven't heard of this cocktail before! I will definitely have to give it a try.

    I had a drink like this at the Farm on Adderly the other night, only they used Hendrick's Gin, Honey and Lemonade.

    It was delicious.
