A Whisky Sour with honey richness, subtle smoke and enlivening ginger spice. A cocktail to slap the palate awake. Then you can't resist keep sipping it
While I really like this cocktail I don't go through the honey-ginger syrup fast enough before it goes bad. I've experimented using the original recipe, using liquid ginger juice to make the syrup instead of roots, the one above with ginger liqueur and honey syrup, and using ginger liqueur and barenjager (replaces the honey syrup). Sadly the one I like best is the original, which requires scrubbing, peeling and slicing ginger root.
The honey ginger syrup is also great as a hot toddy. Add a good shot or so to a mug of hot water, squeeze of lemon to taste, plus a shot of whisky or brandy if you want alcohol version.
