FAQs

Can I batch the honey syrup?

Yes – just scale the syrup recipe and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to a week in a sealed bottle or jar.

What type of cider should I use?

A dry or medium sparkling apple cider keeps the cocktail balanced. Sweeter ciders work too but reduce the syrup slightly.
