Spring and summer cocktails are often too sweet for my taste. This chamomile honey cocktdail hits the spot as it’s delightfully light and springy but not too sweet. I saw a similar cocktail on a menu recently and knew I had to recreate it at home.

It turned out even better than I expected! Try it out and let me know how you like it.

4. Garnish with a lemon slice.

5. Enjoy!
