Notes
Pro Tips
- To make spiced honey syrup, simmer equal parts honey and water with a cinnamon stick, a few slices of ginger, and a pinch of nutmeg until the honey dissolves. Strain and cool before using.
- For an extra smoky flavor, repeat the smoking process with the cinnamon stick just before garnishing.
- Use freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Chill your glass in the freezer before prepping to keep your drink colder for longer.
