A classic Martha cocktail, very refined, fresh ingredients which work great for my lifestyle. I'd say the above cocktail would be dramatically less filling if you substituted the 3/4 cup of honey with the new Seagrams 7 Dark Honey. Has anyone tried this yet? It just became available in NYC (nov 09) and i think this is definite a recipe im going to try out!
