Infused Honey with Cocktails – Our Honey Paloma!

Who knew honey could be such a fantastic ingredient in cocktails?  And, our Lucky Lime & Sea Salt Clover honey is exceptional in mixed drinks!
 
Lately, Mark and I have become mixologists of sorts.  We’ve been toying around with our infused honeys as a fun ingredient in cocktails, and this cocktail is truly wonderful.  We have taken the classic Paloma (Spanish for “dove”) and changed it up just a bit and I have to say, our twist on this recipe is invigorating.  It is a perfect drink to sip on in the summertime; when lounging by the pool, after a hard day’s work in the yard, or celebrating with friends and family on the Fourth of July.   Here’s our Honey Paloma recipe, give it a try!
