This is lovely cocktail with an enjoyable and slightly delayed kick. A little fussy to make from scratch because of the need to make honey syrup but worth the effort. A definite 4.5 star for me and worth a try for anyone.

Oh, and as others mention. It’s a tiny cocktail so make a double!

This cocktail is awesome on a summer night with a good cigar. Made it as shown, I felt no need to tweek any ingredients

We doubled the volumes of all ingredients, added some Aquafab for a fun head and served over ice in a Rocks Glass. We love Nick and Nora but this just didn't seem to be their sort of party.

Lovely, but volumes are a bit too low. 3 sips and it’s gone. I recommend anyone that makes this multiply all volumes by 1.5

Good drink but this name is already taken.

Two sips in, and this drink is excellent. The warmth of the bourbon is brightened with the ginger and citrus, and smoothed out with the honey. A beautifully balanced cocktail.

Delicious drink! Made with only lemon juice, it reminded us of drinks we enjoyed in Japan made with pear purée. One issue is that it is dangerously easy to empty.
