Honey Bouquet

Romantic, floral, and perfectly balanced, the Honey Bouquet was crafted with love in mind. Featuring Glendalough Wild Rose Gin, Lillet Blanc, fresh lemon juice, and honey syrup, it’s a delicate yet complex cocktail that brings out the gin’s soft, botanical character. A hint of blueberries adds depth, while egg white (or aquafaba) creates a silky texture. Topped with rose petals, this drink is as visually stunning as it is delicious—ideal for a special occasion or a quiet moment of indulgence.

The inspiration behind this cocktail, as explained by bartender Kalisha Glover, “just in time for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to make a cocktail for wild lovers that could be enjoyed all year round. Whether it be a platonic, familial or romantic, I wanted to find a way to create love in a glass using Glendalough’s Wild Rose Gin.“
