Sacred Nectar

ABOUT

The ultimate balance of strong and sweet, this original cocktail achieves a noteworthy feat.

According to ancient Greek mythology, nectar was the divine drink of the Olympian gods. With its magical properties, nectar bestowed immortality on any mortal lucky enough to consume it. While this cocktail might not make you immortal, it will definitely leave you feeling like one.

The base spirit for this cocktail is Manatawny Still Works’ Swarmbustin’ Honey whiskey. This Pennsylvania whiskey is made with a mixture of Swarmbustin' Buckwheat and Fall Wildflower Honey. These two honeys help provide sweetness to the whiskey without it losing its bite.

We then added Vigo Amaro — a bitter Italian liqueur — made by Philadelphia Distilling. Homemade honey syrup is added as a sweetener and Angostura bitters are added to enhance this drink’s flavor and color.

This cocktail is best served up in a coupe glass. A lemon peel garnish is optional.
