The Story Behind The Honey Rye Manhattan
This rye-based cocktail combines all of my favorite warming winter flavors, including honey, winter citrus, and amaro. (Ever since tasting Italy’s honey amari, which can be hard to find in the United States, I love finding ways to pair honey and amaro in cocktails.) I plan to drink this cocktail by a fire until winter ends.

- 1 cup water

Honey Syrup Directions
- Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
