Ingredients

For the cider honey syrup:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup orange juice

For a large batch/pitcher (serves 18):

  • 2 1/4 cups whiskey or bourbon
  • 1 1/2 cups of the cider honey syrup entire batch
  • 2 1/4 cups prosecco champagne, or sparkling white wine
  • 9 sprigs of rosemary

For a single cocktail:

  • 1 ounce whiskey or bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cider honey syrup
  • 1 ounce prosecco champagne, or sparkling white wine (or enough to top off the glass)
  • 1/2 sprig of rosemary

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk the honey, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and orange juice together until it starts to bubble. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a pitcher or shaker, mix the honey syrup and whiskey together with a good amount of ice so that it is completely chilled. Strain into a different pitcher or serving glass. (Note: caution that you don’t let the honey and whiskey mixture sit in the ice for too long so that it doesn’t get watered down.)
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Just before serving, add prosecco to top off the glass and garnish with a ½ sprig of rosemary.
