Golden honey in colour and also in flavour. An unusual and great tasting 'champagne' cocktail.

If you don't overdo it with the sparkling wine topper, all of the base flavors are remarkably apparent. Sort of like a carbonated sweet cider.

Very nice. A little on the smoky side, but not overwhelming. Honey and apple juice adds interesting sweetness to the Scotch.

Even though I used an affordable prosecco instead, it still tastes very luxurious. Nice bubbly cocktail.
