Being too impatient to heat up my crystallised honey, I used Maple Syrup instead. Beautifully balanced; a keeper.

Great cocktail with a wonderful balance. Since I cannot have anything raw, due to some health issues, we used Fee Foam which is a substitute. It had nice foam.

Gorgeous colour and foam. Lovely balance of sweet, bitter, and a hint of sour.
