Honey Delight Cocktail
Norfolk Gin is a fragrant, well-balanced small batch gin, produced in Norwich by Jonathan and Alison Redding. Here, they share their Honey Delight Cocktail – perfect for Christmas Eve spent by the fire or a pre-prandial on Christmas Day itself.
Our Honey Delight Cocktail is a smooth honeyed variation on the Prohibition cocktail, the Bee’s Knees, itself a riff on the gin sour. Add a touch of cream for a silky cocktail.
- 1 Glass: Cocktail or coupe
- 60 milliliters Norfolk Gin
- 15 milliliters runny honey (the colour of the honey will determine the colour of the cocktail with a darker honey giving a warmer, mellow result)
- 15 milliliters lemon juice (fresh squeezed lemon juice)
- 7.5 milliliters orange syrup (or triple sec of you have less of a sweet tooth Generous dash of orange bitters)
Add the honey and lemon to a chilled shaker.
Stir gently and thoroughly to dissolve the honey.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Add ice and shake.
Strain through a Hawthorne strainer into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass
Handcrafted in historic Norwich, Norfolk Gin is a fragrant, well-balanced small batch gin, with each bottle filled and sealed by hand, large bottles are individually numbered, creating a lovingly made product from start to finish.
A “Ginny” gin, Juniper-led with herbaceous and floral notes, with a touch of spice, a hint of sweetness and fragrant citrus. Norfolk Gin is vibrant, delicious and easy-drinking and plays well in all cocktails.
Presented in beautifully designed British porcelain bottles, handmade by Wade Ceramics in Stoke on Trent. And when the gin is gone the bottle can be re-used or re-filled locally. Just too beautiful to throw away.
