Easy on the gin.
I'm not one to reblog, and especially not on my fourth post, but I was sent this email from the National Honey Board with a list of beautiful and refreshing summer cocktails made with honey. They look and sound absolutely divine so I had to share them with you all...
Bee's Knees Cocktail
From Chef Ricardo Zarate (makes 1 drink)
Bee's Knees Cocktail |
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 jigger gin
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
Note: the orange juice is optional. Bars in Los Angeles and New York that serve the Bee's Knees omit it.
Combine all the ingredients and shake well with ice. Strain into a glass
Note: when made as directed, the honey often forms into a giant ball in the middle of the shaker. To avoid this, combine three parts honey to one part water and stir together until completely mixed, then continue with the recipe.
Honey Mango Margarita
Makes 1 beverage
Honey Mango Margarita |
- 1-1/4 oz. gold tequila
- 2 oz. margarita mix
- 1/2 fresh ripe mango**
- 2 oz. Honey Simple Syrup
- 1 scoop crushed ice
Sugar rim glass. Combine ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. 881 oz. Monin Mango syrup can be substituted for fresh mango.
Honey Simple Syrup: Mix 4 parts honey to 1 part hot water in a store n pour. Or alternatively, use a covered container that is convenient to pour from.
Honey Mint Juleps
Makes 14 servings
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups mint leaves
- 1 cup honey
- 3 1/2 cups bourbon
- Crushed ice

Mandarin Blossom
Makes 1 beverage
Mandarin Blossom |
