Whiskey Cocktails
The Bumble Bea
We put a spin on the classic whiskey sour especially for our friend Aisling Bea’s birthday. It’s hard to Bea-lieve that something so green could taste this good. Our version includes a homemade orange and vanilla infused honey syrup.

How to make
-
To make the infused honey syrup is easy (we promise): 1 jar honey ; 1/2 jar water; 1 orange; Vanilla extract or vanilla pods. Simply put the honey and water in a pot and bring to the boil. Add vanilla extract to taste and the orange peel. Pour into a container and allow to infuse for 24 hours. More extract can be added to the drink itself should you feel you would like more vanilla notes.
-
Empty your glass of ice and strain the shaker contents into the chilled glass.
-
Grab your shaker, measure and ingredients.
-
Add all ingredients to your shaker.
-
Two part shake; dry shake the contents first with no ice. Shake for around 5 seconds to mix the ingredients. Then add ice and shake vigorously.
-
Empty your glass of ice and strain the shaker contents into the chilled glass.
-
Garnish with orange oil by pinching some orange peel over the glass.
-
Rub the peel along the rim + stem and finish this by placing the orange peel on top of serve.
About this Cocktail
One of the most common questions we get asked is how to make a green cocktail without using additives or colourings. Well, here is your answer…Spirulina. This is a seaweed and algae extract. It’s a sustainable ingredient which contains a high source of plant protein. It has minimal impact on the flavour of the serve but adds that lovely hint of green.
