Pairing note of the week
gingerol vs citral — test note
This week’s pours
Hard Honey Collins
Cocktail
- 1.5 oz gin or vodka
- Splash of lime
- Wine Hive₂Ø fill
Build over ice in a collins glass: spirit, lime, then fill with Wine Hive₂Ø. Stir once.
Lime's citric acid lifts the semi-dry honey wine's floral phenolics while the sparkle carries the botanicals — a classic collins acid-bridge.
Beeee Refreshed
Cocktail
- 1.5 oz vodka
- Splash of lemonade
- Ginger Mule Hive₂O fill
Build over ice: vodka, lemonade, fill with Ginger Mule.
A clean spirit lets gingerol heat and citral brightness lead — the mule template with honey instead of syrup.
