Honeysuckle Fizz Cocktail

If you love honey in drinks, this spritzer will really knock your socks off.  This recipe works excellently in a drink carbonator like the Twist and Sparkle but can also just be made with seltzer rather than still water if you don’t have a drink carbonator.

Ingredients

(Makes 4 drinks)

3 Tbsp honey

1 ½ cups water (seltzer water if you’re not using a carbonator)

Juice and of 2 lemons (save zest for garnish)

4 dashes Angostura bitters

5 shots whiskey

Add your honey and water together and shake to combine.  If you’re making ahead of time, you can heat them together to dissolve then chill for a few hours in the fridge as well. 

If substituting seltzer, you may want to mix the honey with equal parts still water to create the syrup then top your drink with seltzer

Peel off a few pieces of lemon zest for garnish then juice the lemons and add to the carbonator bottle with the honey syrup. 

Add a few dashes of bitters and your whiskey and shake to combine, then fizz according to your carbonator’s instructions.

Serve immediately – preferably with an obnoxiously oversized ice cube and a twist of lemon zest.
