Cocktails with Honey syrup
Honey syrup is a liquid sweetener made by thinning honey with water into a pourable, easily mixed form.
Taste profile
Floral and mellow, with the distinct warm sweetness of honey and faint waxy, nectar-like depth that plain sugar lacks.
How it's used
Sweetening and balancing acidity is its role; it is stirred or shaken into the build and dosed in small measures, dissolving readily where neat honey would seize or clump.
Substitutes for Honey syrup
Simple sugar syrup, or agave syrup thinned with water, for a comparable liquid sweetness.
Description
Honey syrup blends honey with hot or warm water, commonly in equal parts or a three-to-one honey-to-water ratio, so the thick raw honey loosens enough to combine cleanly into cold drinks.
Storage
Refrigerate in a sealed container and use within a couple of weeks, as the dilution makes it perishable.
