Honey Syrup
Why you must dilute honey before using it in cocktails, and how to do it properly.
1:1 Ratio
Honey is very difficult to mix into chilled or shaken cocktails due to how viscous it is. Once it comes into contact with ice, it will tightly bind to itself and will not emulsify.
Diluting it with water before adding it to a drink allows it to seamlessly incorporate with all other ingredients and keep its flavor present.
Place a bowl on a digital scale, add your honey (e.g. 150g), zero out, then add the same weight of very hot water. Whisk thoroughly until dissolved.
Refrigerate between uses and it will keep for up to a week.
