We are going to keep it real with you: we love a good cocktail at home. Because why bother going out when I'm the best bartender in town? That's why these honey cocktails with blackberry and mint really hit the spot:

• They're easy to make at home
• Just a couple ingredients
• No need to put on pants and go to the bar
• Copious amounts of honey

Raw & unfiltered honey makes an excellent sweetener for cocktails, but you'll want to make sure to mix it before you add ice. Otherwise, the honey will clump up and stick to the ice cubes. Hence why the instructions below mention diluting the honey with a bit of warm water.

And if you really want to sweeten like a pro, you can make some honey simple syrup at home. Just simmer equal parts honey and water until combined and not too thick.

Cocktails vs. Mocktails

The directions below👇 are for the honey cocktail version of this Honey Blackberry Mint Cocktail. 

If instead, you're feeling like making a mockery of all things cocktail related, it's easy to turn this into a honey mocktail: just don't add vodka. Every other step stays the same.
