Tequila Sour with Organic Honey
Recipes
Here's our take on a Tequila Sour. We call it the Sweet n' Sour, because it's sweetened with homemade honey syrup. Honey syrup is just like simple syrup, but it gets extra floral flavor from the unique floral notes in each honey.
For this recipe, we're featuring new Organic Hive Honey. With a remarkably floral flavor and mild, approachable sweetness, it adds more flavor to cocktails and recipes.
After sampling dozens of organic honeys, we knew we had something special with this one: a richly floral and light golden honey that complements anything and everything it touches –– including the woodsy, sweet notes of a fantastic añejo tequila.
If you're going with organic honey, why stop there? Look for organic tequila, eggs, and lemons to make this recipe with 100% organic ingredients.
