The holiday season is full of entertaining, so I’d like to share a quick and tasty cocktail. There are a variety of different flavors of honey depending on where each hive is located in the valley. My favorite honey for using in cocktails is our desert wild flower honey. This well-rounded, sweet honey doesn’t over-power the cocktail, but gives it a fresh and naturally sweet flavor. Easily make these ahead of time so you can enjoy your holiday party!
