Original recipe: September 2018 | Updated: February 2021

My husband enjoys making a Lemon Drop cocktail and it calls for simple syrup to sweeten it. Dan decided to make a syrup made with honey instead of refined sugar so it wouldn’t taste suuuuper sugary.

Simple syrup made with honey adds a different flavor to cocktails with much less sweetness. If you buy a bottle at the store, you will pay FIVE DOLLARS. This recipe is much more economical, it requires only two ingredients (honey and water) and it takes THREE minutes to make. And no stove top!

Do you buy it at the store? Or do you make the version of Simple Syrup with refined sugar? Is this version with honey a new technique for you? Tell me in the comments!
