Honey Trap
INGREDIENTS

Honey Syrup

  • 1 cup mild honey
  • 1 cup water

Honey Trap Cocktail

  • 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) bee pollen
  • 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) Mijenta Tequila Reposado
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) Honey Syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon (1/4 ounce) ginger juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon (1/4 ounce) mezcal
HOW TO PREPARE
  • Make the Honey Syrup
    Bring honey and 1 cup water to a simmer in a small pot over medium. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until honey is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool at room temperature 1 hour. You'll only need 1 1/2 tablespoons for the cocktail; store the remainder in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • Make the cocktail
    Make bee pollen salt. Combine bee pollen, salt, and turmeric. Mix well to remove clumps.
  • Rim a rocks glass
    with the bee pollen salt, using honey. Rinse glass with mezcal, then pour out the contents. Combine tequila, Honey Syrup, lemon juice, and ginger juice in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into the rocks glass over fresh ice. Enjoy immediately.
Style of Glass to use
  • Rocks Glass
Garnishes
  • Lime, Mint

Honey Trap TIPS

Rim your glass while the honey’s still tacky so that bee pollen salt sticks perfectly. That ginger juice adds a subtle sting worthy of the name.
