Notes
Here are a few things to keep in mind. Fresh ingredients like lemon juice make a big difference, so try to avoid bottled juice. You can store extra honey syrup in a jar in the fridge for a week, ready for when you're craving another glass. š” Experimenting with different bourbons can also change up the flavor profile.
