Surprisingly pleasant, vibrant drink. Nice way to dress up vodka, if one cringes at the taste of alcohol. Leaves me though wishing for a little more grassy bite from a cachaca or other funky white rum. I used 7.5 ml of a 3:1 raw honey syrup and 10 ml of a dirty-delicious demerara syrup. Nothing to tweak with the specs, if the ingredients have characterful quality.
Enjoyed this though the honey/muscavado was a bit sweet so added a 1/4 lime juice. Muddled the Lime pieces honey and muscavdo syrup all together first as my Vodka is freezer cold.
Actually better than a Caipirinha as an evening drink
You need to stir the honey with the other ingredients so it dissolves before adding the ice. If your honey is too thick to dissolve using this method then you will need to make it into a honey syrup. Please follow the link on the word 'honey' in the recipe to find info on making a honey syrup.
