Do you know the origin of the word, "honeymoon"? #Gifted ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Back in medieval times, newlywedded couples drank mead in the moon cycle (I.e. a month) following their marriage. Mead is a drink made from fermented honey, and the idea was its consumption was said to bring luck and fertility to the couple, hence the phrase, honeymoon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The more you know, huh? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although not as commonly drank these days, my pals at afonmeluk down in Wales make a fantastic range of it. It can be drank neat or chilled but I treat it a bit like sweet vermouth if you're unsure of how to get started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spec: ▪️30ml Dry gin ▪️30ml Honey mead ▪️30ml Aperitivo Amaro ▪️Lemon peel garnish ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _______________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gincocktails #negroni #mead #cocktailsathome #cocktailhacks #honey #cocktailrecipes #easycocktail #easydrinks
