As with all recipes including honey, dissolve in the main spirit first, before shaking with ice.

I was missing the apple juice so take my comments with a pinch of salt but... complex. It grew on me.

I was too at first. My original notes were "an interesting flavor, but not that enjoyable. " The apple juice made a massive difference; I think the dryness from unsweetened apple helped to balance the drink.
