Honey Bee

Rich honey balances tart lemon juice over a characterful rum-base. Most recipes omit the orange juice, but as David Embury says in his Bee's Knees recipe...

Had this again and it was just a good as before. This time we used Coruba Dark Jamaican rum. We had not been able to get the rum locally for awhile, but it is favoured by many of the tiki bars in Southern California. Used the orange juice also. Still one of our favourites.

Utterly delicious. The Jamaican rum flavour is so damn beautiful with the honey.

Update: Don't do orange juice. The drink turns flat.

Outstanding. We used 1/2 Jamaican and 1/2 Jamaican overproof Navy rums. It was unbelievable. Great Jamaican rum flavour and the additional punch from the overproof. Would be excellent with any Jamaican rum.
