Chef's Note

Adding a touch of vinegar to the cocktail takes it to another level adding a sour/umami punch that is needed without the alcohol present.This can be completely strained or served as is, just know it will be a bit pulpy if unstrained.Looking to lighten this drink up a bit more? Try reducing the honey or replacing with a plant based zero calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
