The Story Behind The Honeysuckle Tequila Sour
Honeysuckles are sweet and flavorful, and are growing like crazy right now. I am using them as much as possible in syrups, which give drinks a deliciously light, floral note.
The tequila base here adds a wonderful earthy undertone and is balanced perfectly by chamomile and pineapple.
Honeysuckle Simple Syrup Ingredients
