Ginger Honey Syrup

Honey Ginger Syrup
Honey adds a nice touch to gin, vodka, and whisky based cocktails. Beautiful earthy flavours with a slight floral aspect to it. Unfortunately, honey by itself will seize up when chilled, making it difficult to mix into cold cocktails in its raw form. Honey syrup is the perfect way to ensure the honey blends harmoniously with the rest of your ingredients. Enhanced with the contrasting flavour of fresh ginger, this simple syrup recipe is a sure way to enhance any cocktail.
