About this Cocktail
This is a simple recipe with easily available ingredients. A cinnamon and clove infusion syrup works well with either sugar or honey. The addition of honey syrup showcases more local Irish ingredients. There are 3 honey producers in Co. Cork, close to Midleton and 8 degrees brewing. Honey also has a long shelf life which means less food waste both at home and in bars.
