Honeymoon
Smooth, spiced, and just a little decadent, the Honeymoon is a romantic classic from the golden age of hotel bars. First appearing in The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), this elegant drink mixes apple brandy (or Calvados), Bénédictine, orange curaçao, and lemon juice. The result is fruity, herbal, and slightly tart, with a warm, honeyed depth that lingers long after the first sip. Rich and refined, it’s a cocktail that tastes like a slow Sunday morning in silk pajamas.
