About
The Honey Moon is a classic cocktail that dates back to 1916. I've seen the specs vary, but here I went with equal parts. Apple brandy provides structure, Bénédictine brings herbal depth, and dry curaçao adds a subtle orange note, all sharpened by fresh lemon. Despite the balance on paper, the drink is lively and layered, with each ingredient clearly pulling its weight.Cheers y’all!
