5 honey cocktails you must try right now
Health Benefits Of Raw Honey
By madhudhara
Is life giving you lemons? Squeeze them, add honey, your favourite alcohol and voila, you got a kickass cocktail!
Looking to give your drinks a new twist? Think about putting your simple syrup on hold in favour of honey's gooey sweetness. Honey is a more alluring sweetener than sugar due to its rich viscosity and distinctive flavour, which provide a depth of flavour the white stuff just cannot.
It's likely that when you think about honey cocktails, you picture something really sweet, rich, and thick. Fair enough, honey-infused drinks are sweeter than those made without them. However, that does not always imply that they are sweet.
For instance, the honey-lime margarita is somewhat sweeter than a standard margarita but is still not particularly sugary.
Don't think you won't find anything on this list that appeals to your preferences if you like your drinks acidic, tangy, or just a bit smokey. Even though there are just 5 honey cocktails available below, they suit a variety of tastes with ease.
