As we edge towards winter, we wanted to create a drink with a warmer richer profile to suit the cooler months. Based on the Polish liqueur Krupnik, we chose to make a liqueur using local honey, flavoured with our own spice mix, fortified with vodka. We felt the liqueur would compliment the vanilla and spice notes in the Jameson flavour profile. We chose to make a sour as even though these are our cooler months, it’s still 20 degrees most days.
