Hot Honey Buttered Bourbon
We’ve used Belvoir Farm Honey, Lemon & Ginger Cordial to make a particularly warming version of buttered bourbon. The result is a deeply comforting drink with a sweet, citrussy kick alongside buttery richness and cosy spices. It’s perfect for sipping on chilly evenings.

To Make
- Put all ingredients for the batter into a mixing bowl and beat, using a small handheld whisk until smooth.

Expert Tips
