Cocktail: Rose Honey Whiskey | Bartender: Amir Abdalla

During the pandemic, I tested positive for Covid-19. I stayed at home for a long time and I was constantly treated with many warm drinks, one of which was made from honey and dried roses with some herbs such as cinnamon, star anise and a little apple juice. After returning to work, I decided to use this drink by mixing it with whiskey, and the result was amazing.
