Cocktail Description

A silky smooth blend of golden honey and crisp white rum, the Honey Bee delivers an elegant balance of sweet and tart that dances across your palate.

This sophisticated cocktail transforms simple ingredients into something greater than the sum of its parts, with Plantation 3 Stars White Rum providing a clean, versatile base that allows the natural sweetness of honey to shine while fresh lemon juice adds bright acidity for perfect balance. It's surprisingly approachable to make at home, requiring only a brief stir to dissolve the honey before shaking—a technique that ensures a luxuriously smooth texture without any undissolved sweetness at the bottom. The Bee-tini makes a delightful aperitif for warm summer evenings or an impressive offering at brunch gatherings when you want something more refined than a mimosa. Its honey-forward profile pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes, particularly those featuring scallops or shrimp, while also complementing spicy Asian cuisine by providing a sweet counterpoint to the heat.
