Honey Highball Cocktail: Your New Favorite

Why You’ll Love This Honey Highball Cocktail

The combination of tequila and honey is ideal for a highball cocktail. The honey’s sweetness perfectly balances the bold flavour of tequila, resulting in a drink that’s sweet but not overpowering, perfect for sipping on the porch during summer.

Why choose the Honey Highball? Firstly, it’s versatile, you can enjoy it as a shot or a cocktail. Secondly, it’s easy to drink with a great taste, and it’s not too strong, so you can enjoy it throughout the evening without overindulging. Lastly, this cocktail is perfect for unwinding after a long day, as honey has a unique way of enhancing other flavours.

The Honey Highball Cocktail is a fun, simple drink to make at home. With just five ingredients, tequila, lime juice, orange juice, club soda, and honey, you’ll have a sweet, fizzy drink perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a relaxed evening or a lively Friday night gathering!

What Type of Honey Should You Use in This Drink?

For the best results, we’d suggest choosing raw, unfiltered honey to make the most of its natural depth and flavour. That said, one of the great things about a Honey Highball cocktail is how adaptable it is, so you’re free to use whichever type of honey suits your taste. You can even swap it out for agave syrup or molasses, just remember to tweak the quantity to balance out the differences in sweetness.

We wouldn’t usually recommend flavoured honey, as it can easily dominate the overall profile of the drink. However, if you’re keen to experiment with different varieties, it’s definitely worth giving it a go.

Tips from Our Experts to Make the Best Honey Highball Cocktail

The Honey Highball Cocktail is an ideal drink for the summer months. It’s sweet, refreshing, and a pleasant alternative to the heavier cocktails often enjoyed in winter. However, not all honey highballs are created equal, there’s a fine balance between a delightful drink and one that misses the mark. Here are five expert tips to ensure your Honey Highball Cocktail is always on point:

1. Use fresh lemon juice, it truly makes a difference in brightening the drink’s flavour.
2. Don’t overdo the ice. Too much will water down your cocktail and dull its taste.
3. Add a splash of soda water if you prefer a less sweet drink or want to boost its fizz.
4. Opt for high-quality tequila like our Altos Reposado for a smoother, richer flavour.
5. Choose unprocessed honey. Look for honey that hasn’t been heat-treated, as this preserves its natural benefits and enhances the cocktail’s taste.
