1 oz Lime Juice
1 tbs Honey mixed with 1 tbs water
.5 oz Allspice Syrup (Allspice Dram)
Shake with ice, Garnish with a grapefruit twist
Taking a break from alcoholic cocktails I pulled the Honey & Spice out of the mocktail section of Food & Wine's Cocktails 2011.
Smelling the drink I was hit with almost a tangerine citrus smell, wax, and allspice. The flavor started off with sharp citrus flavors starting with grapefruit and moving into lime. The drink reaches a flavor peak with a rounded honey sweetness which momentarily cuts through the tartness. At the end of the sit the allspice flavors come in evoking a holiday feeling. The final aftertaste is pure sweetarts but in a good way. Definitely a keeper, and I may think up a way to create an alcoholic version.
