HONEY BADGER COCKTAIL


Looks good, doesn't it? 

This cocktail is really refreshing. 

Honey Badger is a long cool cocktail made with Beer, honey, basil and bitters. 

If you're a strict vegan you could replace the honey with agave nectar in this recipe. 

I just realised my cocktails this week are all very woodland creature. 

The last one was purple stag and this one is honey badger, maybe I need to start a series.

    1. Very refreshing Kate. I also like beer with raspberry syrup. A polish friend recommended it. In fact you can find the raspberry syrup in the Polish section of your supermarket.
