Cocktails require sweeteners, such as sugar syrups or sweet liqueurs. Honey's sweetness can give a drink a depth.
There are a lot of cocktails that have honey as an ingredient, but you'll need to make sure that you use a type of honey that complements the rest of the ingredients. This is especially true if you are using a dark, rich honey.
Clover honey, for example, has a strong floral aroma which goes well with Gin. This honey will give your drink a slight hint of smoke, which goes well with bourbon and whiskey.
Apricot honey is another type you may want to consider. It has a subtler flavor than most other honeys. 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. They'll also help to tame any spicy flavors in the other ingredients.
Alternatively, you could try mixing honey into a tea and adding that to your cocktail. This will give it a lighter feel and will make it easier to mix with other ingredients like a gin and soda.
Homemade honey syrup is also possible. You'll add equal parts of both honey and the water. Boil it until the honey separates and combines with the liquid. This method will yield a thick, viscous and simple syrup.
There are many alcohol drinks which contain honey, including the cosmopolitan. The classic cosmopolitan cocktail combines grapefruit with vodka and cranberry. This cocktail, which has been popular since a long time, is great for keeping around the house.
Pour make a sour you will need to add gin. Next, add a bit of lemon juice along with some honey. This will help balance the gin flavors with the lemon juice, and give you a drink that is more complex.
It will still taste great! This drink is perfect for a celebration or special occasion.
If you serve your sour in an elegant glass with a squeeze of lemon, it will look even more impressive. The lemon helps to temper the strong citrus flavors of gin which can sometimes overpower.
A sour drink will be more interesting if it contains honey. Honey is a great flavoring for many spirits. It adds a level of complexity you can't get with sugar syrup or sweet liqueurs.

How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
