Cocktails require sweeteners, such as sugar syrups or sweet liqueurs. Honey adds a special sweetness to a cocktail.
Many cocktails contain honey, but the honey you choose should complement the rest. It is particularly important if you use a dark honey.
Clover honey for instance has an intense floral fragrance that is great with gin. The honey also adds a hint of smoke to your drink. It is perfect for whiskey or bourbon.
Apricot honey is another option. It's a bit more subtle than other honey types. This is great for a margarita, as it will not overpower the fruit or citrus in this drink.
Orange blossom and tangerine would also add a sweet layer to the beverage. These will also help to temper any spicy flavors from the other ingredients.
As an alternative, you can add honey to tea and mix it into your cocktail. It will feel lighter and easier to mix.
Homemade honey syrup is also possible. You will need to mix equal parts honey and water. Then, boil the mixture until you see the honey dissolve and combine with water. This will give you a simple yet thick and viscous syrup that you can use in many different recipes.
There are several alcohol drinks with honey in them, such as the cosmopolitan. The classic drink cosmopolitan combines grapefruit, vodka and cranberry. This cocktail is a classic and has been around for many years.
You'll have to add gin to your recipe to make it sour. You'll then need to add some lemon juice and honey syrup. This will help balance the gin flavors with the lemon juice, and give you a drink that is more complex.
The sour taste will be different depending on the gin that you choose. However, it will still very tasty! This drink would be perfect for a party, or any special occasion.
If you serve your sour in an elegant glass with a squeeze of lemon, it will look even more impressive. The lemon will help to temper any overpowering citrus flavors that can be found in gin.
Honey is a great addition to a sour. This is because honey can be used as a flavorful addition to many of your favorite spirits, and it can add a touch of complexity that you wouldn't get from sugar syrup or a sweet liqueur.
