Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker or glass WITHOUT Ice.
Stir vigorously until the Honey is completely dissolved, this is a very important step so don’t rush it! You can also heat the honey in the microwave for 5 seconds (no more!) before adding it to ingredients for an easier mix.
Once honey is dissolved, add ice to cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.
Pour into a Lowball glass filled with ice.
Add Garnishes and delight your senses with you first sip!
(Optional) if the honey didn’t dissolve properly and ended up clumpy in your drink, then add maple or agave to sweeten the drink to taste.
