how to make it
Make the honey syrup by combining the water, honey, and cardamom bitters (just a dash or two… cardamom is strong!) and microwaving for 20 seconds. Stir, let cool, and ensure it tastes sweet ✨
In a cocktail shaker, combine honey syrup, bourbon, lemon juice, golden bitters, and egg white. NO ICE! Yes, I realize Strongwater’s golden bitters may be a bit of a special ingredient, but they are worth it – bitters with turmeric, cardamom, and allspice. Give the mixture a good, solid dry shake. ~90 seconds.
Open the cocktail shaker, add a few ice cubes, and shake delicately a second time just to cool the mixture. Serve in a coupe glass and top with something interesting – a twist, a dehydrated hibiscus flower, an ultra thin strawberry slice 🍓
