Honey With a Picante Streak

Honey is a natural sweetener for scotch, mezcal, and tequila drinks — the brand's own bartender notes say so — and Tippleman's makes the case with a ginger-honey that earns its "intriguingly spicy" descriptor: wildflower honey for the honeysuckle and jasmine notes, fresh ginger juice for the blossom heat, and just enough cayenne to lengthen the finish. One retailer calls it their favorite for a Penicillin, and it's hard to argue — ginger and honey are that drink's whole architecture. It also sweetens Margaritas and Whiskey Sours where plain agave or simple would disappear. Average pour ¾ oz, about 17 cocktails per bottle. Pair it with the Double Spiced Falernum for the full spice shelf, or browse the complete Tippleman's collection.

Tasting Notes

Bright honeysuckle and jasmine from the wildflower honey, fresh ginger blossom heat, and a cayenne flicker at the finish that stretches the spice out. Sweet, spicy, and floral at once.

How to Enjoy

The Penicillin is the signature serve. Also excellent in Margaritas, Whiskey Sours, and sweet iced tea — anywhere honey and heat both belong.
