How is it February? I mean, seriously, how are we already one month into 2021? January was a blur, and I honestly cannot tell you what I did other than make soap to restock from the holidays. I am also putting this cute snowman here. We had a big storm this past week and built this friend.

Thank you for all your support this past holiday season! It means the world to me that you supported my small business. With each purchase you make I get closer to achieving my goal of making Honey Locust Home my full-time job!

First Friday Cocktail

Bourbon Sour with a Clove Infusion

It's worth the time it takes to make the simple syrup for this cocktail. However, you can always omit the simple syrup and sub for a 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar. It's always worth the time it takes to squeeze the juice freshly.

The ratio I used for this cocktail is two parts Bourbon, one part Simple Syrup, half part lemon juice. In a shaker filled with ice, add the Bourbon, Simple Syrup, and Lemon Juice. Shake for about 10 seconds and pour in a rocks glass over ice and garnish with a lemon slice and maraschino cherry. I also like to use fresh lemon juice for this recipe.

Clove Infused Bourbon Sour

Bourbon Sour with a Clove Infusion

2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Clove Infused Simple Syrup
.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

In a shaker filled with ice, add bourbon, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Shake for ten seconds. Serve in a rocks glass over ice and garnish with a maraschino cherry and lemon slice.The hour prep time is accounting for making the simple syrup. You could omit this part of the recipe and sustitute 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in place of the simple syrup. I also don't own rocks glasses and serve many cocktails in an 8 oz canning jars.

Featured Soap

Obviously Citrus Clove is the soap I am featuring this month! As always it's super nourishing made with skin loving oils and butters that later perfectly.
