This is a delicious cocktail, and one we will serve again gladly. Not too sweet, and it's strong, (kinda like I like my men), HAHA, just kidding, couldn't help myself. :) Seriously, this is a very tasty cocktail, and very pretty as well. The strength of the bourbon and sweetness of the honey syrup is toned down by the fresh citrus and bitters. Pour Prosecco over the top of it all...it's a win-win! Thank you for a keeper, momaphet!
