Honey Syrup is a staple behind cocktail bars for its warmth and depth of flavor, beyond that of almost all other sweeteners. It's an essential ingredient in cocktails like the Gold Rush (Bourbon, Honey, and Lemon), the Bee's Knees (Gin, Honey, Lemon), a Brown Derby (Bourbon, Grapefruit, and Honey), and many others.

Our Honey Syrup is mixed at a 2:1 ratio, and made with Grade A Wildflower Honey. It is shelf stable when unopened, but we'd recommend using within a year of purchase for best flavor. Our Honey Syrup will last for about a month after opening if kept refrigerated. Always refrigerate after opening.

Gold Rush

A modern classic from Milk & Honey (NYC, 2000s) — bright lemon and floral honey balanced over a bold bourbon backbone.

• 2 oz Bourbon
• ¾ oz Cheeky Honey Syrup
• ¾ oz Cheeky Lemon Juice

Method: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over a large ice cube.

Garnish: Lemon twist, expressed over the glass and placed on the rim.
