A quick video showing how simple it is to make a really nice honey liqueur out of common supermarket vodka or rum and clear honey.
Try to find a general purpose clear honey in a squeezy bottle, since the cloudy honey has a lot more insoluble solids (beeswax?) that leave a residue at the bottom of the bottle. the squeezy bottle makes it easier to squirt the honey into the bottle, and can be refilled from a standard jar of honey if required. The ratio of honey to rum or vodka is entirely up to you. I like a sweet drink so I add loads.
The alcohol in vodka and rum, along with the long shelf life of honey means that the mixed drink can be stored in the bottle for a long time. Even the clearest honey will cause a slight deposit of non soluble sediment after a while, but it's harmless and can either be left at the bottom of the bottle or shaken up again.

    Love this 🙂 tell you another trick as well take 1L of the cheapest strongest voddie you can buy add 300ml of that clear honey BC mentioned and a bit of dry Mediterranean herbidge (not too much) leave it for about 3 months and the voddie will reduce in abv, thicken to the consistency of Harveys sherry and taste great.

    I'd be willing to bet a splash of honey would be good in a bottle of Windsor (or similar) whiskey as well.

    We use to make so called hot toddies when we would get sick, one shot, drink it up, cover up with big blankets & sweat it out all night long & feel brand new in the morning with the fever & all was gone. It was just a shot of whiskey & a little honey & warmed it up on the stove to enough to melt the honey somewhat & not hot enough to be still able to drink it. If sick enough you'll try pretty much anything to get well.

    Clickbait title! "Make honey vodka very quickly." I was expecting to see how to take cheap honey and quickly turn it into vodka (somehow bypassing all that tedious fermenting and distilling stuff).

    Failing that, I expected to see Clive get falling down drunk.

    All we got was the rather obvious "squirt some honey into some vodka."

    You can add honey to bourbon too – very tasty.

    Since I'm a Crown Royal Lover I was so excited to find out they were going to sell Crown Royal Honey, When I asked them when to expect it to you shelves in the USA in PA they answered back with a sorry Crown honey will not be offered in the USA. Now if thank you for this video. I plan trial and error my Crown Honey at home.

    Try adding some lemon juice + peel and some cloves, and leave it in a basement for a year at least. Heavenly stuff.
