Beeble Honey Vodka 50cl (30% ABV) - Artisan British Honey Vodka Liqueur (VOD500)

Product Information

Some of the honey flavoured vodkas are sweeter than others. Select the one you think would be most popular with your guests. Unfortunately that may mean trying one or two before your party / event date! A delicious, refreshing variation on classic limoncello, which, when shop-bought, is too often closer to loo cleaner than something you’d actually want to drink. Enjoy cold as a digestivo or (if you intend to sleep where you are sat) “diluted” with sparkling wine. Depending on your enthusiasm for a clear liquid or otherwise, strain through a fine sieve or a double layer of muslin into a funnel held over a clean bottle or jar. Seal and store. It will keep indefinitely. Ponche crema

Put the sugar and 400ml water in a large pan on a moderate heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat, leave to cool for five minutes, then pour as much of the warm syrup as will fill the infusion jar. Seal, leave to infuse for another week, then strain into a bottle. It will be bright and lively now, and will mellow and deepen in flavour over time: both are excellent. Again, this will keep indefinitely. Nutmeg syrupBefore serving your Krupnik, siphon off the clear liquor from the bottle into a saucepan. (You can discard the sediment.)

Pour the mix through a strainer into a jug, then decant into a sterilised jar or bottle. You can use the shrub immediately, but it’s better left to mature for a week in the fridge, where it will keep for three weeks or so.Pour the vodka or gin into a one-litre jar, add the lemongrass, citrus zest and lime leaves, stir well, then seal and leave to infuse for a week. Put the sugar and vinegar in a pan over a low heat, stirring frequently, just until it comes to a simmer, then take off the heat. Bash the lemongrass lightly with a rolling pin to release its flavour and scent, then put it and the berries in a jar. Pour the warm, sweetened vinegar over the top, cover with muslin (or similar), then leave to cool and infuse for at least 24 hours. Strain the vodka-spice mixture into a sterilized bottle, and let it sit for about a week in a cool, dark location. It’s totally normal to see sediment at the bottom of the bottle – that sediment is just the spices you used to flavor the vodka settling as it sits. How do I serve Krupnik? Honey vodka, or Krupnik in Polish, is believed to originate from the 16th-century Poland and Lithuania. This traditional liqueur is created by infusing vodka with honey and various spices and is known for its characteristic sweet yet warming flavor. Krupnik gained widespread popularity throughout Eastern Europe and found its way into the holiday traditions of many households.

Here are just a few ideas and brands - it is by no means an exhaustive list of all that there is to have, it is just to give an example of what Honey Vodkas are available. Honey flavoured Vodkas Krupnik takes about ten minutes to assemble and 30 minutes to simmer– but then you’ll need to let it sit for about a week so the sediment from the spices and other ingredients have a chance to settle before drinking. (Plan accordingly if you want to serve this at your holiday parties.) A tiny tot of this drinking vinegar, sipped like a fine whisky over a long while, gives me great pleasure, but it is equally good diluted with sparkling water, sparkling cider or fizz to lengthen it. Save the raspberries that are sieved out of the mix: they are superb on breakfast yoghurt or pancakes. ALL guests will love a real Honey Vodka but some will love it more than others depending on the level of the vodka's sweetness and of course the guest's own personal taste. On the whole, purchasing one or two bottles of Honey Vodka will be a success and you can't go wrong. Alcohol contentWhile not purely a honey vodka, Sobieski's Karamel offering combines honey and caramel's sweet flavors for a delectable spirit. The Polish brand Sobieski is known for its high-quality, affordable vodka, making Karamel a great choice for those looking to experiment with flavored vodka on a budget. Chopin Honey Vodka The Dutch have advocaat, Trinidad and Tobago has ponche de crème, and my childhood had adverts for Warninks advocaat that promised a lifetime of sophistication. Almost all eggnogs are based on a core of spices, egg yolks and dairy; some use brandy, others whisky, many feature cream, others only condensed milk. This version, from Venezuela, and also from my new book, is a delight.
